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.
The track listing reads as both a retrospective and a living document: "Bad Luck Soul," "Slipped, Tripped, and Fell In Love," "Make It Rain," "You Were Never Mine," "That's What Love Will Make You Do," "The Devil Is An Angel Too," "Closer," "Hammer," "Love Wins Again," and "The Things Left Undone." Drawn from across the arc of her catalog, the ten tracks represent the full spectrum of Magness's artistry — the grit and the grace, the humor and the heartbreak, the defiance and the tenderness. Heard together in this live setting, they tell the story of a career and a life lived with uncommon courage and conviction.
