Jackie Marshall unleashes 'Ladies' Luck' with east coast tour dates

Hitchhiking adventure girl, Jackie Marshall, unleashes her explosive new album Ladies’ Luck – a blazing ‘Janis Joplin meets Dolly Parton’ affair, that rocks its huge heart out – just like the gal herself (as anyone who has seen Jackie’s brilliant live shows will testify).

Ladies’ Luck chronicles Jackie’s real-life adventures and tall tales since the release of her critically acclaimed – and AMP shortlisted – 2006 debut Fight n’ Flight. Where Fight n’ Flight was a stripped down, acoustic gem (featuring Jackie’s masterful guitar playing), Ladies’ Luck reflects her need to make some noise “because these sounds have been doing blockies around my skull for a decade and I
needed to get them out!” says Jackie.

And what beautiful noise! Featuring the powerhouse Black Alles Band, a fluid collection of kick-ass musicians who play what Jackie describes as ‘alt-deco rock’, combining dirty 60s rock’n’roll like The Stones and Grateful Dead with her beloved 90s Indie rock. Epic and masterful production from Ben Tolliday delivers an album that deserves to be played loud.

There’s pop perfection in title track ‘Ladies’ Luck’ (inspired by a drinking session with fellow AMP nominee Lucie Thorne), full-throttle rock in first single ‘Too, Somebody’ and ‘Ugly Man’ (My grandma said to choose the ugly man, he’d love me better than you can), country love in ‘Headn South’, (He didn’t like her flaming hair / She didn’t like his blatant stare / They got it on right then and there) the devil in ‘DeeDees Wife’ and one of rock’s most evocative break-up songs in album closer ‘I Should’ve Drunk More’.

Ladies’ Luck is an album of passion and extremes, as tough as it is tender and the perfect vehicle for Marshall’s honey husky ‘lived-in’ voice and her exceptional gift as a razor-tongued raconteur with an ear for a beautiful melody. Jackie Marshall rocks! Ladies’ Luck is here to prove it.
