Mary Lou Lord - "My Buddy Valentine"

It's been far too long since there's been any new music from Mary Lou Lord. Her last album, Baby Blue, was released way back in 2004, so by my calculations it's been 11 years. That changed yesterday when Mary Lou posted "My Buddy Valentine" on Soundcloud. "My Buddy Valentine" was recorded in honor of Buddy Holly, making the anniversary of his death a fitting day to release it. The song was recorded with Dave Mattacks on drums and Maryanne Window, ans was co-written by Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond). Funded by a Kickstarter campaign, Backstreet Angels should finally see release this year! The song is typically upbeat for Mary Lou, and she hasn't lost a thing in the past decade. It's so thrilling to have her truly back.

For more information on what Mary Lou Lord has been up to, and to keep track of developments on the new album's release, you can like her on Facebook. She also has an official website, but I'm not sure how often that gets updated.
