With the release of Truth in the Room, her first comprehensive live album, Janiva Magness has delivered the document her fans have long been waiting for — proof, captured on record, of what she has always done live: make a room stop, listen, and feel. Recorded in front of an intimate gathering of 150 invited friends and music industry guests by the legendary Bob Clearmountain, it is a milestone that crowns more than three decades of one of the most honest and enduring careers in American blues.
Live performance has always been at the heart of who she is, something that earned her the honor of the B.B. King Entertainer of the Year award. Fans have clamored for years for a live album that could capture what they experience in the room with her — that ineffable electricity, the give-and-take between artist and audience, the sense that something unrepeatable is happening in real time. That moment has finally arrived with "Truth in the Room", out this summer on Blue Élan Records.

Janiva Magness’s 17th album Back For Me is a treasure chest of lesser-known gems by well-known artists (Bill Withers, Ray LaMontagne, Allen Toussaint, Doyle Bramhall II, Tracy Nelson) produced by her longtime collaborator Dave Darling. The album features ace guitarists Joe Bonamassa, Sue Foley, and Jesse Dayton as they each put their stamps on their respective special guest appearances. Back For Me is a powerhouse set moving from the Chicago-via-Texas churn of “Masterpiece” to the aching gospel-soul-funk of Bill Withers’ “The Same Love That Made Me Laugh”. There’s heartache and heartbreak, but at the same time self-awareness and accountability and the strength and power that comes from that. In other words, it’s the blues.

GRAMMY®-nominated for Best Contemporary Blue's Album; Janiva Magness’ 2016 album Love Wins Again is yet another evolutionary step for the soulful, elegant, award-winning singer/songwriter. The album’s title is a mantra that resonates throughout: the concept of love as a physical, psychic and spiritual force that has the strength to conquer negativity, sadness and personal demons. Love Wins Again marks Magness’ fifth collaboration with four-time GRAMMY®-nominated producer Dave Darling (Glen Campbell, Brian Setzer) whose instincts compel Magness to tap her deepest creative powers and lead her songs to unpredictable places. Her singing rings with sincerity. Since launching her career with 1992’s More Than Live, she has grown to become an accomplished storyteller and diviner of the heart, allowing songs like the title track, “Doorway” and “Say You Will” to reveal life’s potent truths.
