Forgetful Heart - Dylan and Cohen and Love
"Possibly our greatest interpreter of Dylan's songs," Barb Jungr returns with a brand new collection, "Forgetful Heart", with love songs by Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. With "Forgetful Heart," Barb continues her love affair with the work of two of the most important songwriters of the 20th Century. Through the lockdown she has thought about love, and in particular the love songs of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, from their earliest explorations to their most recent recordings. In 2014, working with Simon Wallace, Barb released "Hard Rain," laying herself bare to Dylan's and Cohen's political and philosophical songs. But "it's now time for love," she says. "How to love more and with more freedom. How to love everyone and everything. How to be free of all the pettiness of life and elevate to the beauty and purity of love. And who better to turn to than Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, two of the greatest alchemists of love ever, in all of its wild wonder." Working with her longstanding collaborator Jenny Carr, Barb will include Forgetful Heart, What Happens To The Heart, If You Gotta Go, Go Now, I've Made Up My Mind To Give Myself To You, and So Long Marianne, among more treasures.
