"She
appeared at times to be channeling Bruce Springsteen and Ricky Lee
Jones simultaneously...When Ferrick sings, she does not use her inside
voice."
Devra First, The Boston Globe

|
"Ferrick's
live shows define her popularity..she plays her acoustic guitar as if
it were a full band and stresses improvisation in her vocals."

“GOODBYE
YOUTH” retains the pure Ferrick trademark: An endearing, emotionally
honest first-person lyrical approach driven by her dynamic acoustic
sound.
Acclaimed indie folk singer-songwriter Melissa Ferrick will be
releasing her 9th album "GOODBYE YOUTH" on her own label RIGHT ON
RECORDS September 16TH, 2008. The album will be sold exclusively at
digital retail and on tour per Melissa's request. "Touring is my
livelihood, and indie retail is dead. It seems like the younger my fans
get, the harder it is to get them out of their houses so I decided to
give them two options to buy my new album: 1. Stay in your bedroom and
download the new album, or 2. Get out of your computer speakers and
have a tangible experience." The album will be available on ITUNES
9/16, and at the start of the tour in NEW YORK, NY at the Bowery
Ballroom.
