Lace Juice Wrld

Juice Newton (born Judith Kay Newton, February 18, 1952, Lakehurst, NJ) was part of the first wave of country singers raised on rock, folk-rock, and singer/songwriters, which is evident from her hit singles. "Angel of the Morning" and "Queen of Hearts," her two crossover hits, have country-pop arrangements, but their roots are in '60s pop and new wave roots rock, respectively. That's why she managed pop crossover hits in the early '80s and also why she was able to sustain country success throughout the decade.

This compilation was inspired by "Jazz Juice". That it is part of the revived Blue Series is ironic. What we are doing is rounding up a vast array of jazz, soul and latin grooves from EMI's vaults.
We have monstrously rare sitar-funk on Ananda Shankar, the obscure Tina Britt's take of Don Covoy's "Sookie, Sookie" and the latin jazz extravaganza of Norman Connor's "Samba For Maria" featuring Blue Note mainstay Freddie Hubbard on trumpet.
For those amused by the quirky, the presence of Cliff Richard is around with Shadow's drummer Brian Bennett, whose "Soul Mission" is lifted from his incredibly rare "Greater London Noise" LP. At the other end of the scale we have a million seller albeit as a В side - in Bobby Gentry's Memphis soaked "Mississippi Delta"
Blue Juice - ready to pour!
