Back For Me on LP

'Back for Me' is a treasure chest of lesser-known gems by well-known artists (Bill Withers, Ray LaMontagne, Allen Toussaint, Doyle Bramhall II, Tracy Nelson) produced by Janiva Magness' longtime collaborator Dave Darling. The album features ace guitarists Joe Bonamassa, Sue Foley, and Jesse Dayton as they each put their stamps on their respective special guest appearances. 'Back for Me' is a powerhouse set moving from the Chicago-via-Texas churn of "Masterpiece" to the aching gospel-soul-funk of Bill Withers' "The Same Love That Made Me Laugh". There's heartache and heartbreak, but at the same time self-awareness and accountability and the strength and power that comes from that. In other words, it's the blues. Janiva Magness has won eight Blues Music Awards, including the coveted B.B. King Entertainer of the year award and was nominated for a Contemporary Blues Album Gramm in 2016.
