Description
JoyAll, the fifth solo album from Jenny Lewis and follow up to 2019s critically acclaimed On The Line finds the singer-songwriter embarking on a new era in a new town and on a new label, as she joins the iconic roster of Blue Note / Capitol Records. 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 JoyAll. The album is a beacon of enlightenment that could only come from embracing life, taking the good with the bad; its a ten-song overture that invites the listener to find their own path to joy.
