Miko Marks & The Resurrectors
Feel Like Going Home (Redtone Records)
After facing the same roadblocks as a black singer trying to navigate the choppy waters of Country music and the Nashville scene that artists like Rissi Palmer and Mickey Guyton have spoken about, Miko Marks never thought she’d make another album again. Speaking on the record, Marks explains, ‘I spent my early career trying to fit into a very specific and limited image and sound within the country music genre. I love country music and always will, but I was raised on so much more, and it’s all in me waiting and wanting to come out. I just want to make the music that is true and honest from within my soul. To me it’s a blend of everything I carry. It’s country, it’s blues, it’s rock n roll, it’s gospel and soul.” And that is exactly what you’ll get on Feel Like Going Home.
