AND THE WHEELS
TURN is the perfect vehicle for Melonie’s pure and
powerful voice to shine as she moves through a variety of hand picked
songs that showcase her soulful down home vocal style including the
up-tempo, fun and liberating first single, “I Call It Gone.” Other album highlights include the passionate and reflective “Cactus
In A Coffee Can”, “I’ve Seen Enough of What’s Behind Me” written by
Ronnie Bowman and Tammy Rogers King, and “Mary Magdalene (Why You
Cryin’), co-written by Ronnie Bowman, Melonie Cannon, Marla
Cannon-Goodman and Buddy Cannon.
Also included is “Back to Earth” the beautiful
duet performed with and written by country legend Willie
Nelson. “Melonie Cannon is one of the best singers I know. Her
new bluegrass album is fantastic. I love her voice anyway, but singing
with a great bluegrass band was a good idea. They blend well together.
The fact that I got to sing with her on a song I wrote makes it even
better. Go Melonie,” said Willie.
The album is backed by an
impressive list of musicians that reads like a “Who’s Who” from the
Bluegrass & Acoustic music world including: Dan Tyminski, Adam
Steffey, Tim Stafford, Randy Kohrs, Aubrey Haynie, Wyatt Rice, Jody
King, Barry Bales, Deanie Richardson, and background vocals by Ronnie
Bowman, Garnet Imes Bowman, Sonya Isaacs and more. Dan Tyminski stated,
“Melonie Cannon’s heartfelt vocals will make you want to listen to her
songs again and again. 
Raised in the wings of the Grand Ole
Opry, Melonie mingled as a young girl with the royalty of country music.
She knew them through her father, songwriter and producer Buddy Cannon,
a giant himself in Nashville, "Melonie's voice is a gift, not just to
her but to everyone who hears her sing. There are those who are great
technical singers and then there are those whose voices transport a
listener from where they are into the heart of the song. Melonie's voice
lives there. She was just fourteen when she sang on her first recording
session and since then has appeared on many major artist albums
including: Willie Nelson, Kenny Chesney, Sammy Kershaw, John Michael
Montgomery, and many more.
Melonie’s impressive debut solo album
in 2004 received a very warm welcome by the media, radio, her peers and
especially bluegrass and country music fans. AND THE WHEELS TURN again
for Melonie as she clearly establishes herself as new important emerging
artist out from the shadows of those major artists that have known what
some are now just discovering – MELONIE CANNON has arrived!
