MUD BLOOD BONE ALBUM REVIEW
Produced with Drew Vandenberg (Faye Webster, S.G. Goodman) and featuring appearances by Boy Golden, Mud Blood Bone is an album meant for the road: penned in Clyde’s 1973 Boler trailer on a farm in Ontario, on a narrow boat in England, and in transit between festivals. No Depression recently recognized the 11-song set as one of the 5 Best Albums of 2026 So Far—alongside releases from Kacey Musgraves, Bella White, John R. Miller, and Rodney Crowell—praising, “Eloquent and blunt at once, Mud Blood Bone is a candid self-portrait of an artist sifting through the ashes of a bitter breakup, staring down self-doubt, and emerging with renewed purpose.” CBC Music also highlighted Clyde as one of 5 Indigenous Musicians to Know in 2026, and The Independent hailed her as “one of the most distinctive voices to come out of Ontario since Alanis Morissette.”
Mud Blood Boneis available now everywhere you buy or stream music.
