Pass it On: I wrote Pass it On while reflecting on some of my family’s legacies-both the good and the bad.The album release is being celebrated with a special New Orleans show on June 16th at Zony Mash with support from local friends Joy Clark and Gal Holiday & The Honky Tonk Revue. Pass It On is available on CD and Vinyl here. Many of the best performers learnt their trade singing from the floor…Jeffers has worked hard to reach this point, and she has a great presence to show for it, as well as a live band she has shaped to her vision… Pass It On is a remarkably entertaining album. ![]() The press for the album suggests that many of the songs were born in the music halls of New Orleans, where a newly-arrived Dusky plied her trade as a solo artist backed only with a loop pedal. Like the Mississippi River, you go with the flow as she embraces a multitude of influences from gospel, folk, and soul, framing them within contemporary pop melodies and arrangements. Your own musical reference points are constantly changing, and throughout this album, she throws in twists and playful turns within songs, bringing us moments of theatre, reflection and joy. One of the things I love most about this album is how each song evolves. Or, as Dusky succinctly puts it, “it’s about living, loving, and losing in Louisiana during the pandemic years.”īelow, you can hear the album and read Jeffers’ track-by-track guide. Absorbing and exploring the sounds she uncovered along the way, her songs ultimately uncover what it is to be a black, southern, millennial woman, negotiating the 2020s. ![]() She uses the name Dusky Waters as a nom de plume as well as an expression of her affinity for the magic of twilight hours and the presence of the Mississippi River that has anchored her life from her childhood on the banks of its tributary Arkansas River in Little Rock, to her early twenties in the delta of northern Louisiana, to her current crescent city home on the gulf coast. Pass It On was written over the three years from 2019 to 2022 by the New Orleans-based songwriter/musician Jennifer Jeffers. The seven new songs presented on this record speak across time and place to express a modern woman’s experience of the deep South, a manifestation of the magic and mourning of the Bayou state, and a hopeful ode to the power of self-actualization. Today, contemporary Americana artist Dusky Waters shares her new album, Pass It On. Like the culturally rich Mississippi Delta that has anchored her life from childhood, the music of Dusky Waters embraces a multitude of influences…a remarkably entertaining album. ![]()
