The plethora of critical praise could circle the earth many times over her short career with fans clamoring for more every time.įish has shared the stage and joined creative forces with some of the best in her field like Tab Benoit, Tommy Castro and Royal Southern Brotherhood. Samantha Fish is a 2012 Blues Music Award winner for Best New Artist Debut for her 2011 release Runaway (Ruf). “I fell in love with it,” she told Premier Guitar of her growing passion for the form, “and started doing my homework by listening to the old guys like Son House and Skip James.” Hearing hill country blues made me fall in love with blues music and he was one of the first artists who let me jam with him.”
“Working with Malcolm was a longtime coming as I'd known him since I was a teenager. This fiery singer and guitarist met some of these players when she attended the King Biscuit Blues Festival at age 17. Samantha’s love for the Hill Country Blues genre started early on as her musical foundation started to build. Then, finally, all roads lead to Memphis where the duo put the final touches at both Willie Mitchell’s Royal Studios and the legendary Ardent studios. Luther and Samantha then hightailed it to his Zebra Ranch Studios in Hernando, MS where they had a traditional Hill Country Blues session. Starting at Brady Blade’s Shreveport, Louisiana studio, they laid the basic rhythm tracks and vocals. Wild Heart was recorded over just a few days in three different studios, as they trekked the backroads from Louisiana to Mississippi in the fall of 2014.
The result is a stunning representation of American roots music. Special guests include Lightnin Malcolm (guitar), Sharde Thomas (drums) and Memphis session singers Shontelle Norman-Beatty and Risse Norman. With Samantha on guitars and Luther on various stringed instruments they rounded out the lineup with Grammy Award-Winning Brady Blade (Emmylou Harris/Bob Dylan) on drums. Ruf Records recording artist singer-guitarist Samantha Fish, will raise eyebrows with her third studio release, Wild Heart produced by Luther Dickinson (The North Mississippi Allstars/Black Crowes).
