The Blues is still alive and well
On Laurie Morvan's 6th release, she continues to deliver solid blues guitar and great lyrics. Favorites are Money Talks, Gravity, I Want Answers, and the emotionally charged, The Man Who Left Me. The whole disc is packed with raw energy and emotion that only Laurie and her band can deliver. I had the pleasure of seeing Laurie and her band at Don the Beachcomber in Huntington Beach, CA. Do yourself a favor and go support this band. It is a show not to be missed.

Hot, even without the band!
"Gravity" is the first solo release from Laurie Morvan. Here, she rested her own band and hired the greatest session musicians on this planet to add to her sexy voice and guitar work that has made her a household name. Not only a hot slinger on the guitar and a hot vocalist, but a blazin' woman by nature, period!

"I was married for seventeen years. All
this time my wife did not want children. I know my situation
may be different than most but I am grateful for the song,
Family Line. I can not listen to it without shedding tears.
I have cheated myself
out of one of life's great joys
and my Mom and Dad of a possible grandson or granddaughter.
I am so happy you have managed to put
these feelings into a song. I
put them away and locked
them in a room for no one to know they exitst. Now when
the time is appropriate I am going to have my parents
listen to Family Line and open discussion about this topic
and how it affects them and myself. This is just one door
you have opened for me."

LAURIE'S MUSIC IS AN AMALGAMATION OF VARIOUS STYLES. SHE SOUNDS
LIKE HERSELF FIRST AND FOREMOST. BUT YOU HEAR ECHOES OF SRV,
BONNIE RAITT, CHRISTINE MCVIE, KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD &
B.B. KING. HER MUSIC ROCKS AND THE MELODIES WILL HAUNT YOU.
(I.E. YOU'LL WAKE UP WITH ONE OF HER TUNES GOING THRU YOUR
HEAD...A GOOD THING). KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. I THINK YOU'RE
BEAUTIFUL.
Pete V. Putney, CA, USA

pullers, and rip-roarin' stompers. Guest artists include
key boardists Sammy Avila (Walter Trout band) and

5 star customer review of
Fire It Up! on iTunes 10/26/09:
"Laurie Morvan is a member of that still
all-to-rare club of female lead blues guitarists.
Laurie shows she is a master on guitar and able to
stand with any of the great guitar players in the
business. She also writes great songs, I was blown
away by every single one on Fire It Up! Come
On Over To My BBQ has the best lyrics,
and Livin' in a Man's World
Laurie cuts loose on the guitar. These two are my
favorites on the album, but like I said all the songs
are great on this album. Laurie's playing is suggestive
of former Roomful of Blues guitarist Ronnie Earl.
She plays guitar style is a bluesy Texas twang but
with a jazz musician's self-discipline and even sophistication.
As a singer, Laurie sounds alot like blues great Marcia
Ball. Her voice has a rich tone and is easy to listen
to. She sings so you can hear every word of the story
her songs tell. This album is worth twice the price,
and you won't be sorry if you buy it."
