| | Description: | Rules are there to be broken. Expectations are there to be defied. Glass ceilings are there to be shattered. Having spent the past decade carving out her own unique space in the male�dominated world of blues-rock, Ally Venable??s combative sixth album, Money & Power,
demands more of both ?? for herself, for women around the world, and for anyone else who thought they weren??t worthy of a seat at the table.
??Money & Power is such a strong statement, especially for women,? says the award-winning Texas gunslinger of her Nashville-recorded new release, on which Ally??s crack-squad band is joined by A-list guests Shemekia Copeland and Christone ??Kingfish?? Ingram. ??All the songs on this album showcase the theme of what it truly means to be a force to be reckoned with. I want this record to wake people up.?
Money and power make the world go round. But in the right hands, music can be every bit as potent. Right now, on the heels of 2023??s acclaimed Real Gone ?? an album that hit #1 on the Billboard Blues Charts and was still in contention a year later ?? Ally is rated amongst the best young singer-songwriters in American roots, saluted by Total Guitar Magazine in its poll of Top 100 Blues Guitarists. ??With her heels, sequins and Les Paul growling on a leash, she??s one of Ruf??s most head-turning young artists,? wrote Classic Rock, ??and while the instrumental prowess can be taken as read, Real Gone marks a growing maturity in the Texan??s songcraft.?
In February 2024, with the dust still settling from Real Gone, Money & Power sessions saw Ally and producer/drummer Tom Hambridge push through the doors of Nashville??s famous Soundstage Studios. And while the studio band was strictly A-list, as always, Ally??s new songs are the real stars. That attitude is palpable on opener Brown Liquor, Ally??s battlecry decorated
by a stinging guest guitar solo from the Mississippi hotshot Christone ??Kingfish?? Ingram. Maybe Someday is a blissful moment of redemptive soul, carried along by horns and barbed lyrics aimed at an old flame. Next up is the white-hot title track, with Ally??s guitar set to scorch and a seething message. ??Money & Power shouts to the masses,? she explains, ??that women are not to be doubted in their ability to thrive in the world.? Vital right to the end, Money & Power plays out with Stepping Stone??s earthy roar of empowerment, the shuddering, spooky, tremolo�soaked groove of Feel That Sting, and the dustblown rocker Unbreakable, where Ally goes
toe-to-toe with New York powerhouse Shemekia Copeland. ??That song spreads a message of women that have been oppressed,? she says, ??to rise to the occasion and break above it all.?
Released April 2025 on Ruf Records, Money & Power is a modern roots record that plays by its own rules and marches to the beat of its own drum. The same could be said for Ally herself.
??I??m thrilled to release this album,? she says. ??For me, it??s a sonic embodiment of a woman??s unstoppable ambition, and really showcases my musicality on all fronts. I??m looking forward to seeing where this one will take me.? - Texas blues-rock singer/songwriter's sixth album.
