Producer, director, music writer and all round entertainer, Barb Jungr has carved out a reputation as a storyteller of blues and gospel-tinged songs, displaying a theatrical approach to live performance that Jacques Brel would have been proud of.Born in Rochdale and raised in Stockport, Barb moved to London in the mid-1970s where she became part of the early cabaret circuit and has pursued this line of work by creating the 'Girl Talk' show with singers Claire Martin and Mari Wilson. Signing to Glasgow based label Linn Records in 2000 enabled Jungr to set out a clear vision for personal music projects that have thus far included re-working the music of Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley and exploring the French chanson. Throughout proceedings at tonight's concert Barb was very ably assisted by accompaniment on piano from Jenny Carr whose blues-inflected playing echoed Rooosevelt Sykes and Memphis Slim in their prime, while the multi-talented Jessica Lauren laid down some soulful grooves on organ and doubled up on folksy harmonica. This atypical trio format worked surprisingly well and harked back to the soul jazz and folk blues revival combos of the 1960s, providing the ideal backdrop for Jungr's vocals. They should record together some time soon! Barb made it clear from the outset that she would be previewing new songs from a new album due out in October. If the bluesy 'Waking in Memphis' is anything to go by, it should at least be the equal of the acclaimed tribute album to Dylan. The exquisite selection of songs reads like a who's who of early soul and blues: Brownie Mc Ghee, Jimmy Reed, Percy Sledge and a faithful rendering of deep soul legend Garnett Mimms' 'I'll Take Good Care Of You'. ~ Manchester Evening News
