Lucky, Revisited by Karen Jonas
Dear Listener,
Thanks to your kind support, Tim and I have been touring together for over five years. We’ve played hundreds of shows, released three records, worked hard, and a had a ton of fun. We decided to make these new recordings of songs you’ve heard on our previous records, because the songs have grown on the road and we have too. I hope you enjoy Lucky, Revisited. We’ll see you out there!
Karen
Lucky, Revisited is the fourth studio album from Fredericksburg, Va artist Karen Jonas. Built from a collection of nine songs released on her first three albums and two stellar covers, Lucky, Revisited is an action-packed overview of Jonas’s finest songwriting. Five years of nonstop touring with guitarist Tim Bray brings an easy but road-hardened chemistry, laser-sharp dynamics, and intricate arrangements to the table. Bray’s dazzling contributions shine like never before, showcased prominently in every song. Engineer/bassist E.P Jackson stood back, capturing and supporting the unfettered performances of Jonas and Bray without interfering.
Jonas was a featured showcasing artist at SXSW in 2019 and was named “Best Americana/Country Artist” by the Washington Area Music Awards. Each of her three albums has garnered international acclaim, and charted on both the US and UK Americana charts. She’s shared stages with Dale Watson, Alabama, Joe Ely, Bob Schneider, The Lone Bellow, Brandy Clark, Robert Earl Keen, Josh Morningstar, and Amanda Shires—lighting up venues around the country from intimate house concerts and listening rooms to rowdy honky-tonks and outdoor festivals.
