Minton Sparks fuses music, poetry, and her intoxicating gift for storytelling to paint word pictures of the rural South that put you square in the middle of the people and the places she knows like the back of her hand. "MInton Sparks brings to the listener everything Southern from the sticky humid distress of pop-up thunder bumpers to the heartsick aftermath of love lost, gone wrong, starved, stuck, gossiped about to death, or otherwise misplaced." Randy Moomaw
Rukus Films featured Minton in the provocative, brilliant, one-woman show Open Casket, alongside world-class musicians veteran Bob Dylan, guitarist John Jackson, blues pianist Steve Conn, guitar and mandolin virtuoso Pat Flynn, and Irish singing sensation maura O'Connell. Besides Open Casket, Minton has released three CDs as well as two books, White Lightning andDesperate Ransom: Setting Her Family Free.
