Jenny Lewis

Anyone order an album’s worth of tuneful ecstasy? Jenny gifted us with 10 songs of glorious Americana pop that dare us not to find ourselves humming them involuntarily, days later - carefree, honey-sweet and uplifting, this record makes us want to road trip over to somewhere sunny.

a beacon of enlightenment that could only come from embracing life, taking the good with the bad; this ten-song overture invites us listeners to find our own path to joy. While 'Joy’All' pulls from a bounty of sonic inspiration–from soul to 90’s R&B, as well as country and classic singer-songwriter records, the album’s rich and intimate, live sound is the hallmark of legendary producer, Dave Cobb.

“I started writing some of these songs on the road, pre-pandemic... and then put them aside as the world shut down, and then from my home in Nashville in early 2021, I joined a week-long virtual songwriting workshop with a handful of amazing artists, hosted by Beck. The challenge was to write one song every day for seven days, with guidelines from Beck. The guidelines would be prompts like ‘write a song with 1-4-5 chord progression,’ ‘write a song with only cliches,’ or ‘write in free form style.’ The first song I submitted to the group was ‘Puppy and a Truck.’” As the days progressed, the assignments kept coming in and Jenny ended up writing a good portion of 'Joy’All'.
