Ricky and Micol Davis, shortly after marrying in 1994, began their musical life together at an open mic night at Sassy Ann's in Knoxville, which proved to be the beginning of something very special.

After releasing their debut album, My Side Of The Road, in 1997, they moved to Nashville in 1998. Vanguard recording artist Mindy Smith, who had just moved from Knoxville to Nashville a few months earlier, encouraged Ricky and Micol to move to Music City, where open mics, jam sessions and songwriter rounds found the duo ready for 2001's Delta Low ~ Mountain High, a release that continues to garner favor and attract media attention. 2005's Miramax film, Daltry Calhoun, features Blue Mother Tupelo's dreamy rendition of the Paul Anka classic, "Put Your Head On My Shoulder," and the movie's soundtrack also includes BMT's version. Love Live ~ 5 Songs From The Road showcases some live favorites recorded between 2001 and 2006, and highlights BMT’s penchant for jams and spontaneous sincerity.

The song “Without You” (from Delta Low ~ Mountain High) is included in 2009’s 1970s style film, Sugar Boxx, directed by cult film maker Cody Jarrett. Through the years, BMT has traveled wherever the music leads—touring, recording, and living through their music.

More About Micol ...

Micol Davis (songwriter, vocalist, pianist/keyboardist, tambourine/hand-percussionist) was born in Memphis, Tennessee into a music-loving family and raised in various towns throughout the south including, Indianola, Mississippi, Fort Smith, Arkansas and Clinton, Tennessee. Around the age of four, she began picking out tunes on the church piano.

Her father, a preacher, didn't allow his children to listen to secular music. Ironically, though, Micol absorbed the Jimmy Reed Blues songs her father would sing at night as lullabies. After moving from state to state and church to church, her family settled in Clinton, Tennessee in the eastern part of the state when she was thirteen.

Through her teenage years, she was the church pianist, sang in various choirs, and eventually earned a degree in music education from the University Of Tennessee. Bonnie Raitt, Van Morrison, and Bobbie Gentry proved to be an enormous influence on her. She possesses the phenomenal natural gift to write songs and deliver whatever she's singing with absolute conviction and gut-wrenching soul, depth, and emotion.

More About Ricky ...

Ricky Davis (songwriter, vocalist, electric/acoustic/slide guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, producer) was born in Knoxville, Tennessee and raised in south Knox County.

By the age of seven, he was playing guitar or drums right along with the grown ups. His guitar-playing father's Chuck Berry recordings led him to discover Muddy Waters, which was an epiphany to him and was the beginning of his journey into Blues and slide guitar.

A member of his high school marching, concert & jazz bands and a member of several working bands in his teens singing and playing guitar, saxophone or drums on Friday & Saturday nights in east Tennessee honky tonks and singing in the Baptist church every Sunday morning - not missing a Sunday service by his mother's insistence - by high school graduation he had turned down a Jazz scholarship to the University of Tennessee and chose instead to attend Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro and major in the Recording Industry Management program.

At nineteen he formed his own band (the first of a few before BMT) getting a further education in honky tonks and juke joints, experimenting with Psychedelic Rock (Jimi Hendrix/The Allman Bros), Blues (John Lee Hooker/Elmore James), Soul (Otis Redding/Percy Sledge) and his own originals. Ricky is a formidable songwriter, soaring guitarist, and fervent vocalist capable of both morphing between styles and transforming the musical styles themselves. *Ricky plays Martin Guitars and is endorsed by National Res-Phonic Guitars and by GHS Strings.
