Candice Ivory: The Queen of Avant Soul
Description
This week, we are joined by The Queen of Avant Soul, Candice Ivory, a woman of the Blues who is simply cut from a different cloth. Raised in the south, the child of a Preacher, she came up as many in this background do, with a respect and an esteem for music and singing. That respect resulted in a very special project entitled, “When the Levee Breaks: The Music of Memphis Minnie”, and she will tell you how deep that respect runs within her. She also talks about her development of a Blues variation she refers to as “Avant Blues”. We discuss all of this, plus her recently released album, “New Southern Vintage”, her work with many other musicians along the way, and how she views music today. This is a wonderful interview you simply cannot miss.
