Jackie Bristow – Without You: New Song Of The Day

Jackie Bristow has just released a new single, Without You, and there’s a new album in the pipeline.

Of course we are Jackie Bristow fans here at 13th Floor and we’re thrilled to hear some new music from her. Here’s the blurb with more info:

The Nashville-based native of Gore has spent her time outside the United States putting the finishing touches on her new album, Outsider, slated for release on American label – Mesa/Bluemoon Recordings. The album was recorded mostly in her musical collaborator Mark Punch’s Nashville studio before the world closed its doors due to Covid.

Without You is an engaging, endearing earworm of a track, propelled by a jaunty, swinging beat, set off by a striking strings arrangement courtesy of Nashville dream team, producer Rick Price and orchestrator Kristin Wilkinson, and played beautifully by an all-star cast of Nashville’s hippest studio musos including Fred Eltringham (Sheryl Crow, Carrie Underwood) Dan Dugmore (James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt) Kristen Wilkinson (Chris Stapleton, Neil Young, John Prine).

Jackie has fashioned a highly credible career in her adopted United States, where prominent reviews laud her for “crafting some of the most beautiful compelling Americana today”, no small achievement by the girl from Gore.

Her accessible tunes, relateable lyrics and intimate, soulful vocal delivery have made her an audience favourite in venues huge and small throughout the US and Europe, where she is equally mesmerising as a solo artist, in her duo with Mark Punch or with a rocking band behind her.

The sublime quality of Jackie’s songwriting and her genuine, down-to-earth Kiwi personality have led to her sharing stages with an impressive resumé of apex artists, from Bonnie Raitt and Boz Skaggs to Chris Isaak and Foreigner.
