'Suit Yourself,' New Album from Vocal Provocateur Judith Owen, to Arrive April 24, 2026

Album features Judith’s band the Gentlemen Callers along with the JO Big Band and special guests Davell Crawford, Joe Bonamassa and the Tonya Boyd-Cannon Choir

NEW ORLEANS, LA, UNITED STATES, March 24, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Continuing on her critically-acclaimed journey into Jazz and Blues, “Suit Yourself,” the new album from lauded vocalist Judith Owen, resumes her trajectory of exploring and mining the lesser-known gems of these genres and turning them into musical powerhouses. Recorded at New Orleans’ Esplanade Studios, “Suit Yourself” is set for release April 24th via Twanky Records and will be accompanied by tour dates worldwide.

“Suit Yourself” can only be described as the full Judith Owen experience, celebrating all of her strengths and everything that has brought her joy throughout her last three releases. It combines the joyous swagger of her wildly successful “Come On and Get It”, the hi-octane sounds of her 2024 love letter to big band, “Judith Owen Swings Christmas”, the live power of “Comes Alive” and her own emotionally intoxicating songwriting and arrangements. A beautiful blend of jazz, blues and big band it may be, but above all it shows off her inimitable sound and personality that seamlessly unite all the tracks into one outstanding oeuvre.

Whether solo at the piano, accompanied by her jazz sextet or her contemporary big band, Judith’s rich mellifluous voice seduces, and her interpretations thrill on songs like Aretha Franklin’s “Evil Gal Blues”and Etta James’s “Since I Fell For You”. Of special note is her duet with New Orleans luminary Davell Crawford on “Today I Sing The Blues” as well as the first single, the sexy and sophisticated, “That’s Why I Love My Baby.” Maestro Joe Bonamassa adds blistering guitar on “Mind Is On Vacation” while the Tonya Boyd-Cannon Choir joins Judith to bring it all back home on the Gospel-inflected “Inside Out.”
