Soul Strutter: Lady Blackbird [2021]

I've already posted several tracks from Lady Blackbird's debut album "Black Acid Soul" as they have been pre-released, but here is the full album in all it's glory, released today (3 Sep 2021).

As I've alluded to previously, probably not to everyone's taste, but once in a while a new singer emerges who takes the industry by storm and I certainly think we will be hearing a lot more about Lady Blackbird (Marley Monroe) once the mass media latch on! It will make a welcome change to the current 'hype' surrounding Abba's return, you choose who you'd rather listen to!

Her music defies genres but has a distinct 60s retro and jazz feel with the eleven tracks including seven covers: "Blackbird" (Nina Simone 1963), "It's Not That Easy" Reuben Bell & The Casanovas 1967), "Ruler Of My Heart" (Irma Thomas 1963), "Collage" (James Gang 1969 co-written by Joe Walsh of The Eagles), "Lost And Lookin'" (Sam Cooke 1963 / Patience Valentine 1965), "It Will Never Happen Again" (Tim Hardin 1966), "Beware the Stranger" (The Voices of East Harlem 1973).

Chris Seefried was involved in writing all four new tracks: "Fix It", "Nobody's Sweetheart", "Five Feet Tall" and "Black Acid Soul".
