Janiva Magness Band
My
Bad Luck Soul
“Watch Out! They've turned up the heat! The Janiva Magness
Band jumps from the word go. Magness connects with genuine passion
as the band, with its fat, driving tone, draws it out of her. She
enters as one of the best new singers in this genre.” - Rich
DelGrosso, Associate Editor, Blues Revue
“...From start to finish, she's a singer who
comes off as sexy and smart without ever over - singing or resorting
to red-hot mamma tripe.” - Southland Blues Magazine
“...an up and coming blues shouter…Watch Out!” - Living
Blues Magazine
“...This woman is the real thang with a powerful Delta by-way-of
hollywood voice” - BAM
“She's worth looking into…you're gonna get knocked out by what
you hear. I recommend you go SEE and HEAR Janiva Magness” -KCRW
