With rave reviews internationally and two New York awards (2008 Nightlife Award for Outstanding Cabaret Vocalist and Best International Artist 2003 Backstage Award), Barb Jungr is renowned for her unique vocal style, approach to arrangements and interpretation of song. Her acclaimed releases on Linn Records and performances have brought her to the world stage and revealed her to be one of Europe's most exciting voices. Critics have compared Jungr to Nina Simone and Peggy Lee, called her "a British Edith Piaf", "one of the best interpreters of Jacques Brel and Bob Dylan anywhere on this angst ridden planet today" (Village Voice, New York) and "mesmerizing" (The New York Times). 2008 brought Jungr's sixth album release for Glasgow based Linn Records. "Just Like A Woman - Hymn to Nina". A celebration of Nina Simone's repertoire, it launched with a sellout season at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club and subsequently toured the UK. In January Barb received the 2008 Nightlife Award at New York's Town Hall, Manhattan, having completed a sellout season at The Metropolitan Room. She returned to New York in autumn 2008 for another sellout season, heralded by a feature about her work in the New York Times. Tracks
