Barb Jungr - Man in the Long Black Coat - Halesowen news
This peerless cabaret singer's 2002 album, "Every Grain of Sand" established Barb Jungr as one of the world's finest interpreters of
Bob Dylan's work, and every recording that she's released on Linn Records since than has boasted its quota of inspired Dylan covers. She has now decided to mark the great man's 70th birthday by bringing them all together on one CD, with the added bonus of four new re-shapings of timeless gems such as "With God On Our Side" and the perenially poignant "Sara." Barb is at her most affecting when she resists the temptation to experiment with overtly elaborate arrangements and serves up simple,unadorned performances such as "Tomorrow Is A Long Time" or "It Ain't Me Babe."
