Mia Dyson is on the road. Yeah, we know she's been there since she was 19, but with her third album, Struck Down,
she's no longer looking back.
Mia's revolution has been both public and private. To the world at large, it began with a nationally televised milestone, the 2005 ARIA Award for Best Blues and Roots Album for her second album, Parking Lots.
In a sense, the other bookend to that red-carpet arrival was her invitation to open for one of the household names of the blues, Eric Clapton, across Australia in early '07. That summer, Mia played to the largest audiences she's met since she picked up her first home made guitar at the age of 14.
Struck Down is an album about finding your place in the wide world and simultaneously getting lost in it.
“Mia Dyson’s third album is a more mature and probably even better effort than Parking Lots, which won the 2005 ARIA award for best blues and roots album. This sublime album will help her shake off the Lucinda Williams copycat tag and expose her to the larger audience that may only know her from her gigs supporting Eric Clapton or Bonnie Raitt.4/5”
The Age
“Praise can’t seem to be heaped high enough on Mia Dyson and her wonderfully smoky voice and guitar playing, but with her third album Struck Down, the 26-year-old Victorian also shows further advances in her songwriting abilities.
Struck Down solidifies the notion that Dyson is one of our leading female talents.
Timeoff
Jen Clother and The Endless Sea will be the support act. Featuring tracks from their new release due out early 09.
