Judith Owen

Judith Owen has boldly followed her muse, releasing recordings that have captivated fans, fellow artists and the most discerning critics. Equal parts musicality, personality and wit, Owen's music combines pop, rock, jazz, classical, R&B and theatrical influences. Variety effusively described her as "a charmer and a seducer, a rocker and a jazz chanteuse." The Los Angeles Times has described Owen as "a drier, hipper Norah Jones who is whip smart, soulfully cool and deeply introspective." And from a recent Boston Globe Arts cover story: "Owen's voice is gorgeous. It's a phenomenally forthright instrument that whispers when necessary and wails when the moment calls for candor."
SOME KIND OF COMFORT marks Judith's seventh studio recording released on Courgette Records, which she co-produced with longtime collaborator John Fischbach (engineer of Stevie Wonder's "Songs in the key of Life").
With worldly wisdom beyond her years, Judith Owen turns suffering into divine lyrical melodies, as she draws on her life-long battle with depression. This lays the foundation for the thirteen songs on SOME KIND OF COMFORT, which Owen herself describes as her "most intimate and confessional recordings to date."
SOME KIND OF COMFORT is in part a companion to last year's critically acclaimed THE BEAUTIFUL DAMAGE COLLECTION. Both CDs feature songs from the very successful West End show 'Ruby Wax- Losing It'. On SOME KIND OF COMFORT, Owen once again delivers what the The New York Times describes as her having 'the kind of wailing folk-jazz voice that slices away surfaces to touch the vulnerable emotional nerve endings and leave you quivering.'
