Album Description
What Love Will Do, co-produced by Magness along with Dave Darling (Brian Setzer, Tom Waits), features 13 powerful songs each imbued with Magness' expressive emotional depth. Magness reaches heights only hinted at in her previous recordings, interpreting new material written especially for her and songs from Little Milton, Tina Turner, Bill Withers, Al Green, Candi Staton, Dorothy Moore, and Marvin Gaye. Her impassioned singing takes each song from deep within her being and projects it out directly into the heart and soul of her audience, making What Love Will Do essential listening for blues, roots, rock and soul music lovers everywhere.
Album Description
Alligator Records is proud and pleased to announce the signing of blues, soul and R&B vocalist Janiva Magness. A 30-year veteran of the music scene, Magness has a soulful, husky voice and absolute command over her material. Winner of the 2006 and 2007 Blues Music Awards for Best Contemporary Female Artist Of The Year, Magness' steady ascension to the top of the blues world will undoubtedly continue its upward trajectory. 'When saucy blues singer Janiva Magness delivers a song, you're convinced. She blurs the lines between blues and soul, singing with elegance and authority.'--L.A. Times. Per Alligator president Bruce Iglauer, signing Magness was a natural move for the label.'I've been watching Janiva over the last few years and seeing her mature into a major artist.'

This woman once again proves to the younger musicians and everyone else willing to listen: Age is just a number and experience counts for everything.
She pulls lyrics form some of the great including Annie Lennox! And holy mother og pete's christ can this woman sing! I saw her live and this album does a pretty nice job of pulling off her live sound. It is so raw and gritty like best Stax records were. Don't hesitate appreciate and buy this album.

Unfortunately, the low rating is due to the fact that this cd arrived two times with significant skipping, making it impossible to really hear and enjoy. I liked what I heard enough to think that I would've liked it otherwise but, after two bad copies, asked for a refund.

My title came from the first words I heard from a subdued 53 year old female blues fan after I loaned her the CD. In fact, everyone that I have loaned this CD to has gone out and purchased more of her stuff. What better recommendation is there than that?
I was recently blessed with the opportunity to see Janiva in Kansas City at Knucklehead's Saloon. She and the band are an experience to not be missed. She has the most amazing voice. Her voice is beyond description.
Give yourself a gift and buy this CD. Don't even debate whether you should or not. BUY IT!!!
Heck buy them all, you won't be sorry..
A unique voice in a world of ho-hum singers September 20, 2008
Magness' voice is raspy, sensual and powerful. Everything a woman needs to sing the blues. REAL blues. Best track? "One Heartache Too Late".
