Blue Again comes hot on the heels of Magness' 2016 Grammy nominated album Love Wins Again. Anyone who has ever heard Magness sing - live or on any of the multiple releases she has put out since coming on the scene in 1992 - can immediately divine that this is a strong, resilient, commanding woman in masterful control of her voice and her destiny. Blue Again collects Magness' interpretations of a half dozen classics from the blues canon and beyond, including numbers made famous by Bo Diddley, Freddie King, Etta James, and Nina Simone.
