Album Review: Barb Jungr – ‘Bob, Brel and Me’

Barb Jungr,”Bob,Brel and Me” (Kristalyn Records)- She may not be a household name just yet, but Barb Jungr’s  gloriously jazz inflected output marks her out as an interpretative singer of rare pathos, wit and charm. As the title suggests Barb’s latest album is dominated by her distinctive covers of songs made famous by  iconic troubadours Bob Dylan and Jacques Brel, serving up radical re-workings of much loved old favourites such as “Jacky,” “Mr.Tambourine Man” and “One Too Many Mornings,” aided and abetted by a strong supporting cast including pianist  Jamie Safir and saxist Mark Lockheart.
