Kent's first 3CD anthology of Southern Soul the award-winning Take Me To The River - was critically and publicly acclaimed in equal measure. It has gone on to become one of the best-selling items in the Ace catalogue and continues to sell well more than half a decade after its release. Southern Soul has so many stories to tell that a second collection was always inevitable. Back To The River has taken the premise of its predecessor and expanded its brief to bring you Southern soul not only from the south, but also southern-styled music from the north, east and west of the United States.

With her first album for Decca (and overall second full-length), the boundary-pushing and award-winning harpist Ashley Jackson just might become a household name. Jackson fuses music and storytelling in Take Me to the Water with a style that's already strong enough to call her own, based on this and 2023's Ennanga, as well as her 2020 "musical documentary" In Song and Spirit (based on Harriet Jacobs's memoir Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl).

Multifaceted harpist Ashley Jackson fuses music and storytelling in Take Me To The Water, a soulful exploration of spirituals, iconic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Alice Coltrane, and an exhilarating interpretation of Debussy’s “Danse Sacrée.” Take Me To The Water celebrates the transportive nature of water, and of the rivers that unite us.
