Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded partially in an old Mississippi train depot to capture authentic southern resonance, 'Belly of the Sun' is a masterful blend of sultry vocal jazz and deep Delta blues. The acclaimed singer reinterprets classic Americana repertoire with her unmistakably rich, smoky contralto.
