Drawing on influences from a wide range of musical traditions, Jungr sets her stunning voice at the emotional centre of powerful gospel and blues lyrics. Music lovers will appreciate material by such great writers as Jimmy Reed, Carole King and Randy Newman as well as a new song by Eric Bibb (Heading Home). The album also features some exciting new self-penned material including the positive message of Beautiful Life.

With sell-out shows from Australia to New York, she has featured several times on BBC Television including an appearance alongside KT Tunstall, Odetta and Billy Bragg in the recent Bob Dylan Tribute concert. Co-produced by Calum Malcolm and Barb, featured musicians include vintage keyboard and organ virtuoso Jessica Lauren and jazz pianist Jenny Carr. Following her acclaimed, song-styled workings of Dylan, Jacques Brel and Elvis Presley this new album is a celebration of material Barb has held in her heart since she first fell in love with music. This is perhaps Barb Jungr’s strongest and most accessible outing to date with a strong message, wonderful instrumentation and plenty of groove.

Barb Jungr (vocals, background vocals); Gabriella Swallow (cello); Jenny Carr (piano); Steve Watts (bass instrument); Eric Bibb (guitar); Jessica Lauren (harmonica, piano, organ, background vocals); Roy Dodds (drums, percussion).
