JoyrsquoAll, the fifth solo album from Jenny Lewis and follow up to 2019rsquos critically acclaimed On The Line Warner Records finds the singersongwriter embarking on a new era in a new townmdashand on a new label, as she joins the iconic roster of Blue NoteCapitol Records.ldquoI started writing some of these songs on the road, prepandemic… and then put them aside as the world shut down, and then from my home in Nashville in early 2021, I joined a weeklong 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 lsquowrite a song with 145 chord progression,rsquo lsquowrite a song with only cliches,rsquo or lsquowrite in free form style.rsquo The first song I submitted to the group was lsquoPuppy and a Truck.rsquordquo As the days progressed, the assignments kept coming in and Jenny ended up writing a good portion of JoyrsquoAll.While JoyrsquoAll pulls from a bounty of sonic inspirationndashfrom soul to 90rsquos RampB, as well as country and classic singersongwriter records the albumrsquos rich and intimate, live sound is the hallmark of eighttime Grammy winning producer Dave Cobb John Prine, Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell, whom Jenny met by chance while visiting Lucius at the Historic RCA Studio A in Nashville. A natural kinship developed between the two, and with her arsenal of songs that she had demoed on her iPhone ready to roll, Jenny texted Dave and asked him to produce her new album.JoyrsquoAllndashout June 9th, 2023 on Blue NoteCapitol Recordsndashis a beacon of enlightenment that could only come from embracing life, taking the good with the bad itrsquos a tensong overture that invites the listener to find their own path to joy.
