Song Review/ Blues : Judith Owens’ ‘Mind is on Vacation’

Judith Owens is a blues artist who saunters through the style like it’s her birthright. Her vocals have that effortless causality. One that connects the artist to her listeners in irreversible ways. Her latest release is the ‘Suit Yourself’ album, a collection of blues-country-jazz exhibitions that take you all the way back to the 70s and 80s. Her New Orleans inspired style and live energy is reminiscent of artists like Marcia Ball, Ruthie Foster, and Catherine Russell. Some of the jazz vocal style also calls to mind vocalists like Madeleine Peyroux, Lizz Wright and Maria Muldaur.

Taken from this collection is the track, ‘Mind is on Vacation’, a track that comes alive with dotted melodies, bluesy guitar solos and a slow swinging groove. The blues and jazz blend into each other like rain clouds in the sky. All to create a smoky and moody atmosphere that you can thoroughly lose yourself in. It is fun, full of slow sensual swings. And the wit and charm of her vocals will have you melting in your shoes as you walk on behind her vocal trail. Listen Now!
