>>> Większa okładka A <<< Ta płyta to mój list sentymentalny, jaki piszę do Brytanii, pełnej wspaniałych widoków, dźwięków i stylów muzycznych, która kształtowała moją osobowość i w dalszym ciągu mnie wspiera... Wciąż pamiętam noce spędzone w operze, w klubach Ronnie Scottsa i 606 Jazz Club, melancholijne piosenki ludowe, brzydkie pory letnie, walijskie zamki, szkockie jeziora, parady, pokazy, rock'n'rollowy seksapil Londynu... Ta wspaniała i nieskazitelna Brytania, którą ciągle widzę... "Happy this way" explores Owen's extraordinary talent for mixing Celtic, jazz and contemporary influences, resulting in a memorable and emotional view of her homeland. --------------- Welsh-born Judith Owen’s debut album for Linn Records marks her return home from life in the United States where she has established herself as a heartfelt singer / songwriter. • On “Happy this Way” Owen brings to bear her singular sense of humour and raw emotionalism to create a homage to her native Britain that is at once poignant and funny. • Co-produced by Owen and John Fischbach - engineer of Stevie Wonder’s classic 1970s album “Songs In The Key Of Life” - songs range from the upbeat Painting by Numbers to the melodic epic scope of Conway Bay. • Highlights include performances by Julia Fordham, Ian Shaw, Richard Thompson, Cassandra Wilson, a remix by Quantic and others. • Owen appeared at Live Earth in July 2007and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2006 where she performed to sell-out audiences. She also featured on Richard Thompson’s revered project “1000 Years of Popular Music”. • She performs regularly with long-time partner – actor and satirist Harry Shearer who gained global recognition as one of the creators and stars of This Is Spinal Tap and for numerous voiceover appearances on The Simpsons. -----------------------
