Marquise Knox - Man Child - Nominated For Blues Music Award
Our original blues label, APO Records, is proud to announce that our 2009 release Man Child by up-and-coming blues star Marquise Knox has been nominated in the category of Best New Artist Debut for the 31st annual Blues Music Awards in Memphis May 6, 2010. Check it out: http://www.blues.org/#ref=bluesmusicawards_nominees

The Blues Music Awards, formerly known as the Handy Awards, are a bit like the Grammys for the blues industry. While this nomination is a huge honor for Marquise and APO, a win and actual award would really be something. Visit The Blues Foundation at www.blues.org to learn more.

"...when you reflect this set was cut at the age of sixteen, the prospects he will be the most notable blues artist of his generation seems a Done Deal...as always there's a lot of flashy and loud player claiming to wear The Raiment Of The Blues-Man, but our bet is Marquise Knox is right now the finest blues artist of his generation, and will be the blues figure to beat for years to come." - Tom "Papa" Ray, owner of Vintage Vinyl in St. Louis, host of The Soul Selector on KDHX 88.1 FM in St. Louis

"...a set that I can unhesitatingly recommend." - Mick Rainsford, Blues In Britain

Man Child is the title of Marquise Knox's national debut, and for good reason. Yes, he was just 16 years old at this recording, but no, this is not another one of those guitar-hero, someday-my-vocals-may-mature, I-might-one-day-write-my-own-material records. This kid is flat-out for real! This is a man-sized offering of serious, mature blues. In fact, it's the maturity that provides the shock value here. Sixteen years old?! Listen to that voice and you'll swear he's lying about his age. Guitar licks that are tasty and restrained, none of this hyper-active, self-absorbed speed metal that somehow gets confused with blues.

Marquise has already won the approval of B.B. King, Henry Townsend, Robert Lockwood Jr., Big George Brock, Bob Margolin, Sam Lay Read those names again. Do you really think we're talking about a novelty act here?

And he's an original. All but one of the tracks on Man Child were penned by Marquise, and most of them were written in the studio, on-the-fly, a skill learned at least partially by one of Marquise's main heroes, Henry Townsend.

This is a 16-year-old, inner-city kid who somehow has decided to become a dead-serious bluesman of the old-school variety. That just doesn't happen anymore.

Clear the way for the Man Child.
