MJ BISHOP BAND

Debut CD Hometown Address - 2001


"There is much to like here.  Bishop's folk/country/ rock leanings tend toward easy-going rhythms and melodies - somewhat reminiscent of the Eagles - that quickly become resident friends in your memory.  Her voice, too, has a quiet way of entering your mind and making itself very welcome there.  A strong rock bass-drum duo lay the foundation for each arrangement; guitars swirl and blaze (Bob Papasian's electric leads and the pedal steel of Bob Knetzger and Allen Terhune are particularly noteworthy) with occasional fiddle, banjo, and resophonic guitar."

Bill Fisher, Victory Music Review, February 2002

"An essay on the travails of growing up, backed with uplifting melodies, Bishop looks at the past from an optimist's viewpoint. The influential home is in Michigan, but the themes are universal."

Tim Waldal, Silver Platters Record Stores, March 2002
