‘Liberation’ is the new album from blues artist ZZ Ward, celebrating her love of all things blues. Her third release on Sun Records, this album joins her originals, like ‘Mother’, a song about her new role as a working mother, with covers of classics like Son House’s ‘Grinnin’ In Your Face’. ZZ’s bold vocals shine on her take on songs from the historic Sun catalogue as well, like The Jesters’ ‘Cadillac Man’ and Alvin Robinson’s ‘Something You Got’.
ZZ Ward started singing blues at age 8, driven by her father’s record collection. By 16, she was a fixture in local Eugene clubs, merging blues and hip-hop. After hustling for gigs and selling demos, she got a record deal with a major label and rocketed to stardom, achieving a Top 40 Billboard hit with her debut.
The singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and now video director, record label owner, milliner and new mom is enjoying an outpouring of creativity. ZZ is making ambitious mini-movies for her songs with her filmmaker brother, Adam Ward (‘Parole Officers’, ‘Bad Advice’), living out her high-concept, action-packed and ultra-chic cinematic fantasies. She is hand-making versions of her signature fedoras available for purchase via her website. Removing the big corporation has also put ZZ closer to her fans and her family. Every morning ZZ chats with her community directly. Being ZZ Ward has also become a family affair; besides ZZ’s collaborations with her brother, her label and her management is a partnership with her longtime collaborator and husband, GRAMMY-winning songwriter Evan Kidd Bogart.
