M.C. Records is thrilled to release Rory Block's Heavy On The Blues. She is the standard bearer for early American roots blues- a celebrated, multi-award-winning artist and a songwriter whose originals ring with unadorned power and truth. Her new release will be a mix of covers and original songs, including Jimi Hendrix, Memphis Minnie, and Koko Taylor. Special guest is Ronnie Earl. Rory Block is a Gold-album selling and 7-time Blues Music Award winner, widely regarded as the top female performer of traditional country blues. Rory's commitment as a blues preservationist with an ear for finding the soul of every song she performs has rewarded her with accolades from the blues and roots music community. Rory Block cut her first album at age 12, backing her father on The Elektra String Band Project. In her career, she has produced 36 albums. Rory is living life as a music producer, author, ordained minister (she refers to it as "Preaching the Blues"), a music producer, festival promoter, mother, wife, and friend to thousands at her ChurchLIVE venue in rural Chatham, New York.
