An A-frame cabin above Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia is homebase for Mink’s Miracle Medicine. With origins as a song-writing collaborative. the duo (Melissa Wright, Daniel Zezeski) formed the band in 2013, with their recent release, Freedom Queen, clocking in as album number four. With a count of 1-2-3, the music begins on Freedom Queen with “Opposite Ruby”, the lyrics painting a picture for a story that introduces characters stitched together with the mysterious message of ‘not by name I am judged by my fruit, don’t just stay in that hotel room’. A love letter goes out to “Patty” as the story in the song bids a farewell while “Dancing in the Middle of a Floor” stands proud for personal joys and “Perfect” floats on dreamscape melodies that ruminate on the balance between intention and reality.
 
Produced by Chance McCoy (Old Crow Medicine Show, solo), Freedom Queen showcases A-list songs, each cut providing its own tones and textures as Mink’s Miracle Medicine spin stories that clearly speak to individual truths as they keenly flesh out the real lives that lie hidden behind a wall of masterful wordplay. The soundscape rolls like thick clouds gathering with the promise of rain when the Freedom Queen title track sketches out a story by revisiting two lives viewed from the other side of love. The pace picks up as the album puts the musical pedal to the metal for the hyper-drive beat confessions of “Red Mirage” as the band sets up on a honky tonk stage with a tear-in-your-beer story of being let down (again) for “Daddy’s Been Drinking (Again). A holiday cut is included on Freedom Queen when a rainy December blurs out the festive lights and the ‘fa la la’ chorus framing “Christmas is Over (Runs and Roulades)” (by Danny McCloskey)
