THE MARCIA MELLO ARCHIVE / IN THE PRESS
The blues. The folk songs. The unmistakable Marcia Mello. A few voices from the press archive.
01 / RAMBLIN’ ON MY MIND
“The cover of Robert Johnson’s ‘Ramblin’ On My Mind’ frankly needs to be heard to be believed, irrefutably imbibed with the same hollowed rawness that we strongly suspect she nailed this at the Crossroads whilst playing poker for souls with the devil himself.”— The Sunday Experience
02 / ACOUSTIC INTERLUDE
“But soon after that Gilmour’s guitar wanders off in his familiar guitar style with axiomatic nods to The Wall and The Division Bell albums. A welcome intermezzo is Black Graham with acoustic guitar. Not from Gilmour but by ragtime busker Marcia Mello.”— Felix Atatong, The Pink Thing
03 / GYPSY DAVEY
“The opening track is by Marcia Mello is also outstanding, a reworking of a traditional English folk song called ‘Gypsy Davey.’”— What The Folk
