This is a sultry, sassy sistah with no shame in her game, Zora sings with a bold, unhurried, honesty that seems like a confession. She is deliciously imperfect.
Zora’s epic original deep blues “Toxic” always brings down the house at her many riveting live shows. She is a master at improvising lyrics and making songs all her own, as demonstrated on this soon to be classic eclectic blues CD.
We think you will agree that Zora’s got it all – she’s an entertainer supreme- sassy, classy, sexy, witty, humorous, and her distinctive, soul-drenched vocals put her at the head of the class. We truly think she’s the best female blues singer in this competitive town!
She is a multitalented blues singer who loves nothing more than sharing her talents on the big stage. You have never heard blues music quite like this before.
Ms. Young's mellifluous voice will caress your eardrums and leave you feeling calm, serene, and at peace. By the end of the performance, you will know what true blues music is all about.
Not only is she arguably the best female vocalist on the Chicago blues scene today, she's quite the rage in France too. Zora Young fronts three French bands for this album blending acoustic and electric performances in both studio and live takes.
The result is a display of her versatility and mastery of not only Chicago blues, but jazz, country and gospel too. Sure, it's mostly covers except for Young's own deep and fiery signature tune, "Toxic" but the arrangements are different enough to allow Young's vocal range and phrasing to be totally captivating throughout.
Zora Young has been nominated for Traditional Blues Female Artist of the Year Award in 2007, 2008 & 2010 at the National Blues Music Awards in Memphis
