Jacqui Naylor - "You Don't Know Jacq" In stores: November 4, 2008
You Don't Know Jacq is Jacqui Naylor's seventh recording and highlights new arrangements of the most requested songs from her earlier recordings plus new original music. On this recording, Jacqui showcases her signature "acoustic smashing" technique, singing jazz standards over rock classics or vice versa, like The Gershwins' "Summertime" over The Allman Brothers' "Whipping Post" or Rodgers & Hart's "My Funny Valentine" over AC/DC's "Back in Black." Her covers of the new classics are equally represented here with a bossa nova take on REM's "Losing My Religion," a gospel-flavored version of The Bee Gees' disco-era ballad "How Deep is Your Love," and a Jamaican-infused dance interpretation of The Rolling Stones' "Miss You." Of course, no Jacqui Naylor album would be complete without showing her jazz chops; here she revisits the Bill Barnes classic "Something Cool" from her very first CD and writes a swing tune called "This Is The Spot" as a "thank you" to jazz radio stations across the country. Other strong new originals on this recording include the beautiful first single "Celebrate Early and Often," the optimistic "Dreamin' Big With You," and "Rise Up," which was written to inspire people to vote and is currently featured on YouTube and the Obama/Biden website.
