Rise
M.C. Records is thrilled to announce that we’re releasing The Queen of Blues/Rock Guitar, Joanna Connor’s 3rd recording for the label, ‘Rise’
It’s the follow up to Joanna’s highly successful 2016 comeback recording Six String Stories.Â
The 12 song release is mostly an original affair with covers via Sly Stone and the Lenny Welch hit “Since I Fell For You.” One of the highlights of Rise is a duet with her longtime friend Mike Zito, “Bad Hand.”
“Joanna Connor might be the best — or most original — blues-based slide guitar player you’re likely to come across today. Or tomorrow” – Guitar World
