Lucy Woodward & the Rocketeers: Plain Gold Ring
Woodward has a track record of tackling iconic songs tightly associated with musicians like Willie Dixon, Terence Trent D'Arby, Blind Willie Johnson or, like in the case of "Plain Gold Ring," Nina Simone and not make you miss the original... only musicians with a very distinctive personality can do that.
The combination of grit and finesse one finds in Woodwards music is quite rare. On this album that combination is perfectly complemented by a large ensemble of, mostly Dutch, musicians recorded in a studio but in one of the Netherlands premiere venues: Rotterdam's LantarenVenster.
