ZZ Ward – Liberation (Psychedelic Waves Vinyl LP) PRE-ORDER

Liberation is the new LP 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 catalog 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. Adding to the sweetness of this time is the fact that ZZ and her husband have just welcomed their firstborn.
