Texas-based blues-rock guitarist and vocalist Ally Venable is back with a powerful statement. Her new single, Money & Power, is set to release on Friday, March 14th, via Ruf Records. This track serves as the title song from her highly anticipated upcoming album, Money & Power, which officially drops on April 18th and is available for pre-order now.
A Bold Anthem for Change
Described by Venable as “a bold, uncompromising anthem,” Money & Power is more than just a song—it’s a declaration. It celebrates the rise of women in traditionally male-dominated spaces and challenges the status quo. “This song will undoubtedly resonate with audiences seeking a message of empowerment and equality in a world that has often denied women their rightful place,” Venable explains.
For over a decade, Venable has been carving out her space in the blues-rock genre, and her sixth studio album is set to reinforce her position as a force to be reckoned with. Featuring collaborations with Shemekia Copeland and Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, the record blends fiery guitar work, impassioned vocals, and thought-provoking lyrics that refuse to be ignored.
The Album: Money & Power
Following the success of her 2023 album Real Gone, which topped the Billboard Blues Charts and remained a contender a year later, Venable is ready to take her music even further. Money & Power was recorded at Nashville’s renowned Soundstage Studios, with award-winning producer and drummer Tom Hambridge leading the sessions.
From the moment the album kicks off with “Brown Liquor,” featuring a searing guitar solo from Kingfish, the energy is undeniable. Tracks like “Maybe Someday” introduce a soulful, horn-laden atmosphere, while the title track delivers a scorching blues-rock assault with a clear message: women are not to be underestimated.
The album closes with “Stepping Stone,” an anthem of empowerment, the eerie tremolo-driven “Feel That Sting,” and “Unbreakable,” a collaboration with powerhouse vocalist Shemekia Copeland. “That song spreads a message of women that have been oppressed to rise to the occasion and break above it all,” Venable shares.

With her signature blend of modern blues, rock, and soul, Ally Venable has earned her place among the top young blues artists today. She has been featured in Total Guitar’s Top 100 Blues Guitarists and praised by Classic Rock for her impressive songwriting and musicianship.
Venable continues to break barriers, and Money & Power is a testament to her unstoppable ambition. “For me, this album is the sonic embodiment of a woman’s determination and really showcases my musicality on all fronts. I’m looking forward to seeing where this one will take me.”
