Jack Derwin - Bent (2016)

Jack Derwin is no stranger to the Sydney blues scene, whether it’s in a band, duo or as a solo performer. With a healthy catalogue of recordings already under his belt, Jack’s latest, Covered All in Blue is exactly that; an 18 track, self penned album that has managed to cover all genres of Blues, while enveloping us in a rollercoaster of sounds and emotions. From the highs of the rockier number, Room to Move, showcasing some great sax with a frenetic pace, to the laid back ballads; Love for You, Magnolia, Johnson Street and the title track, Covered All in Blue, there is something for everyone. Jack’s uniquely deep timbered voice takes on a new approach with this album, teaming up on the ballads with Stephanie Jansen. He introduces us to a softer, almost smoky vocal style. This, combined with a very talented band, and you (have one helluva good album.
