New Record Coming This Summer

March 19, 2025 – Northport NY – M.C. Records is thrilled to announce the signing of legendary blues artist Rory Block. She is the standard bearer for early American roots blues- a celebrated, multi-award winning artist, and a songwriter whose originals ring with unadorned power and truth. Rory will be touring this summer and fall to support the new record.

Rory talks about the upcoming record:
I am very excited to announce that I will be recording a brand new project for M.C. Records! I expect to be tapping into my life-long love of American roots blues, celebrating the founders and best of the classic blues legends, and maybe some of my own originals. The recording will be filled with slide, overlapping acoustic parts, and funky rhythms. Can’t wait to get started.

Rory Block is a Gold-album selling and 7-time Blues Music Award winner, widely regarded as the top female performer of traditional country blues. Rory’s commitment as a blues preservationist with an ear for finding the soul of every song she performs has rewarded her with accolades from the blues and roots music community.

Mark Carpentieri owner of M.C. Records talks about Rory:
I’ve been a fan of Rory’s for over 40 years. I was so thrilled she contributed a track to our Sister Rosetta Tribute in 2003. To have her on the label is a dream come true!

Her playing is perfect, her singing otherworldly as she wrestles with ghosts, shadows, and legends – The New York Times

Rory Block has been an inspiration to me since we started out years ago.

Her guitar playing, singing, and songwriting are some of the most soulful in traditional and modern blues. – Bonnie Raitt

Block has cut a wide swath during the past 40+ years in what could be called a one-woman quest for keeping the masters of the acoustic blues alive. – No Depression
