Melody
Guy - Signs of Trouble
By Rebecca Hosking
 Melody Guy is a force to reckon with. She is hitting Nashville
like a storm with tight lyrics and driving guitar, telling
stories we all know and love. I had the honor of playing a round
with her one night. I was blown away, and I was also a bit
frightened to play after her. After all, how do you follow a
performance like hers? Signs of trouble is a collection of her
writing talents, but to see the true divine musical experience
she must be seen live!
Signs of trouble is just that. Melody is trouble for anyone
trying to make it as a songwriter in the industry today. She is
the one you need to top, the competition, the standard we should
all be striving for. With songs like All That’s Left Is Me so
cleverly written about lost love and being used up, Melody
definitely raises the bar. Ouch! I know what your thinking but
no one can quite hurt you like Melody Guy does. The title track
is backed with rockin’ music and vocals that border on a
resemblance of Melissa Etheridge. The entire CD has precise
production and spot on vocals and storylines with attention
grabbing hooks. My favorite song on the entire album was Another
Teenage Mother. I don’t think I’ll need to spell that one out
for you, but I have never witnessed a story flow the way this
one does. I was expecting the entire album to be a lot more
country but it turned out to be folksy Americana with an edge.
Just grab it for yourself and make your own judgment. There are
unexpected turns all over the place that keep you on your toes,
make you laugh and cry and celebrate what is going on in
Melody’s head.
There’s not much else I can say about this lady except thank you
for doing what you do and paving the way for future writers and
performers. I hope we will see a lot more in the near future.
I give this 4 1/2 guitars out of 5, can’t wait for your next
album.
