I saw Bex Marshall live as the supporting act to Hayseed Dixie. She was brilliant, just her and her guitar filled the auditorium with a powerful, resonant sound. Her voice and guitar playing were well matched and the music was skillfully delivered. An all round enjoyable experience, well worth the ticket price on her own, on the way out I brought a copy of the album signed by Bex.
Unlike her live performance, the album has a greater range of instruments and additional artists, including the Reno brothers from Hayseed Dixie. Whilst it does not fully convey the brilliant power and emotion of her live performance it makes up for it with good production and a broader more polished sound. If you enjoyed her live performance, you'll like the album and vice versa. Bex Marshall is definitely an artist to add your watch list for both album releases and live performances.

This is a superb collection of 10 self penned tracks. Its blues with a country and folk tinge and is a very authentic and well crafted set of songs.
Marshall has been likened to a range of different artists including Janis Joplin and Maggie Bell for her vocal prowess and Ry Cooder, Bonnie Raitt, Lowell George and Rory Gallagher for her guitar playing amongst others.
Kitchen Table is Bex's second UK album and her first international release, yet she sounds so assured in her guitar playing, vocals and her song writing. The two guitars that Marshall plays on the album are her 1973 Gibson Hummingbird and 2006 Ozark resonator with often a slide on her little finger. The title track is the opener and is an upbeat number featuring Bex on both electric and acoustic guitar and lyrically it is a call for the return of the kitchen table as the traditional meeting place of the family - no TV dinners on this album! Red Light is a slow acoustic delta blues song, just Bex and her guitar. Hot Headed Man starts slow but becomes a frantically paced slide guitar number, in which she is backed with Don and Dale Reno from the band Hayseed Dixie. The song is about a man and too much whisky! The same drink is mentioned in Black Guitar, but this is a very different type of song, and it's a stunner. A tale of a man in a failed relationship - "every night he drinks whatever he can afford, he takes a black guitar ... plays it for the Lord". Musically it is superb with Marshall's haunting slide guitar.
A far more lyrically positive song is the playful Bad Bad Girl, while Little Bird is a standout track where she speaks of the emotion of letting someone go, from the initial sadness of the lyrics comes quite an uplifting feeling. Stand Up combines gospel with blues, while Here Is My Heart is extremely soulful. Too Much Rock n Roll is where the likeness to Rory Gallagher is most apparent and lyrically it refers to the self inflicted passing of a friend. Simon J Alpin produced the album with Bex and he adds some mandolin to Head in the Clouds the closing and most commercial track on the album.
Highly recommended!

Gutsy songs and a voice that fans of Maggie Bell and Janis Joplin will appreciate. There's humour as well as heartbreak in these tracks, and the raw blues of her slide guitar is something to treasure. Bex Marshall's future looks great if she can maintain this standard
