Dirty Radio

2011 debut album from one of the most stunning and arresting voices in music. Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside vigorously mines a sweet spot between modern and vintage. Sallie's voice has elicited comparisons to classic Jazz and Blues icons, yet it is stoked with the fire of youth and rebellion, too, an instrument capable of conveying raw emotion and nuanced artistry in the same breath. Since 2008, Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside has been intertwining elements of swinging Roots Rock, Country, Jazz, and Blues with a contemporary lyrical stance and Ford's instantly recognizable voice. The Portland quartet has steadily ascended through the ranks, earning a growing following throughout the Pacific Northwest.
