Joy'All by Jenny Lewis.
Jenny Lewis returns with "Joy'All," a 2023 release that finds the singer and songwriter landing on Blue Note Records, issued under exclusive license to UMG Recordings, Inc. It is a fitting home for a collection this warm and unhurried, a record that leans into craft and space rather than clamor, and one that rewards the kind of close, side-by-side listening that vinyl invites.
The heart of the album's sound is rooted in Nashville, where it was recorded at the historic RCA Studio A, a room with deep character and a legacy woven through decades of American music. That grounding shows in the way the songs breathe, from the opening pulse of "Psychos" through the title track "Joy'All" and on into the easy roll of "Giddy Up" and the tender ache of "Balcony." The sequencing carries you from the wry to the wistful, closing side B with "Chain Of Tears."
The production journey traveled coast to coast. After tracking in Nashville, the album was mixed and engineered at The Apex in Burbank, California, with additional engineering handled at Whale Studio in Gaviota, California. Mastering was completed back in Nashville at John Baldwin Mastering, keeping the final polish in the same city where the songs first took shape. That combination of rooms and hands lends the record both its rootsy foundation and its clean, modern clarity.
Longtime followers will recognize "Puppy And A Truck," which arrives here with its own history intact. First released in 2021 under Loves Way, the song carries a separate publishing note, copyrighted 2021 to Deprecious Music (BMI) and administered by Kobalt Music Publishing, while the balance of the album falls under a 2023 copyright. It is a small detail, but one that speaks to the way this collection gathered itself over time before finding its full form.
As an object, this pressing carries the marks of a proper Blue Note release. Made in the EU by Universal Music International B.V., it opens into a gatefold that lays out the recording story across studios and cities. The runouts are laser etched, a nice touch for collectors who appreciate the finer details of a modern pressing.
For anyone building a shelf of contemporary singer-songwriter records with real pedigree, "Joy'All" makes a strong case. It pairs a distinctive voice with a storied Nashville room, a thoughtful cross-country production, and a jazz label pedigree that feels right at home among the shelves here at Miles Waxey. Drop the needle on "Cherry Baby" or "Love Feel" and let it play.
