Product Description
The Sunday Times, 09 March 2008 4 stars
After deconstructing Elvis, Dylan and Jacques Brel, the British singer pays homage to Nina Simone. Jungr being Jungr, nothing follows a conventional path in this oblique collection, which veers between gospel, folk, R&B and discreet jazz. She doesn't go for obvious covers or try to compete with Simone's idiosyncratic delivery - her voice is lighter and almost girlish. The real pleasure lies in the typically thoughtful juxtapositions of material. The bleak sentiments of The Pusher sit side by side with the pastoral cadences of One Morning in May, while Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood is unashamedly dark. Fans will be pleased that the Dylan quota remains high. Clive Davis
The Independent, 07 March 2008 4 stars
A vocal stylist acclaimed for her interpretations of Jacques Brel and Bob Dylan, Barb Jungr here turns her attention to Nina Simone, with an album drawn from the late pianist's repertoire. The most striking pieces may be the medleys with which Jungr brings a trad-folk tone to. Particularly the seamless segueing of One Morning in May with the old Steppenwolf drug song The Pusher. Oddly for a Dylan specialist, her reggae-styled Just Like a Woman grates inappropriately, though her Ballad of Hollis Brown, with the delicate madness of the piano part evoking the protagonist's descent into despair, is much more effective. It's all brought to a close with a rousing, exultant blues arrangement of Feeling Good that pays true homage to Nina's feisty spirit. Andy Gill
