Album Review: Judith Owen – redisCOVERed

Judith Owen,”redisCOVERed” (Twanky Records)- Judith Owen has always seemed content to march to the beat of a markedly different drummer from many of her contemporaries in the singer-songwriter field, and the Welsh chanteuse’s latest offering on her own Twanky label is populated by the most eccentric collection of cover versions that you could ever wish to hear. Deep Purple’s “Smoke On The Water” is given a thorough going over alongside radical re-imaginings of everything from Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” to the Grease anthem “Summer Nights,” and the finished product is a thoughtful, jazz inflected delight.
