Barb Jungr recorded ‘Every Grain of Sand’ in 2001 and as she describes it, ‘it was the beginning of a love affair.’ Over the last decade Jungr has recorded songs by her musical hero Bob Dylan at every opportunity; many of which are collected on her new album, ‘Man In The Long Black Coat’, along with four never before recorded tracks.
Barb’s unique interpretations of some of Dylan’s most popular songs draw on the huge range of influences she has absorbed during her varied and extensive career, from cabaret to European jazz. ‘Man In The Long Black Coat’ offers a fascinating insight into one artist’s obsession and exploration of another’s works. Her imaginative re-workings, which give a female’s perspective on a traditionally male body of work, not only reveal her passion for Dylan’s songs but also her great skill as an interpreter and singer.
‘Man In The Long Black Coat’ is available to download now in Studio Master quality and can be pre-ordered on CD, with the release set for 31st May.
Barb Jungr’s first album of Dylan has become a cult classic and this album celebrating Dylan’s 70th birthday is likely to become one too. Jungr’s superb interpretations of her musical hero combined with her unique vocal style and arrangements deliver a gorgeous performance on this compilation of Dylan songs.
