Judith Owen - Suit Yourself

Continuing her critically acclaimed journey into Jazz and Blues, "Suit Yourself" the new album from lauded vocalist Judith Owen, recorded at New Orleans' Esplanade Studios, resumes her trajectory of exploring and mining the lesser-known gems of these genres and turning them into musical powerhouses.

Whether solo at the piano, accompanied by her jazz sextet or her contemporary big band, Judith's rich mellifluous voice seduces, and her interpretations thrill on songs like Aretha Franklin's "Evil Gal Blues", Nellie Lutcher's "For you my Love", and Etta James's "Since I Fell For You". Of special note is her duet with New Orleans luminary Davell Crawford on "Today I Sing The Blues" as well as the first single, the sexy and sophisticated, "That's Why I Love My Baby". Maestro Joe Bonamassa adds blistering guitar on "Mind Is On Vacation" while the Tonya Boyd-Cannon Choir joins Judith to bring it all back home on the Gospel-inflected "Inside Out".
