Blank,judy - Morning Sun - Music CD

If blue-eyed songstress Judy Blank would tell you she grew up in some one-horse-town in Louisiana, you'd probably believe her. But nothing could be further from the truth. Hailing from The Netherlands, the 24-year-old singersongwriter is not afraid to fuse musical genres, influenced by several pilgrimages across the southern United States. On her LP Morning Sun, a 70's inspired coming-of-age confessional that she recorded with Chris Taylor (Rival Sons, Dylan LeBlanc, The Wood Brothers), she effortlessly mixes traditional folk and groovy americana. From the green-eyed soul of her hit single "Mary Jane" to the jaggededged ballad of "Tangled Up in You", she can hit all the notes. Even living legends praise her songwriting skills; her song '1995' was called a favorite by none other than Sir Elton John. She recently toured all over Europe with the South Carolina indierockers from SUSTO and officially showcased at SXSW earlier this year.
