In Gospel Gone Blues, Jimmie Ware speaks directly from her soul to share her poetic truth-- thoughts on the human condition alongside an intimate look into her personal life. Employing her talents as an acclaimed spoken word performer, she weaves the raw, the tender, the not-always-pretty side of life with the pulse of jazz and blues as a backdrop for her captivating poems.
___________________________________
I fell in love the first time I heard her. Jimmie Ware has a magical way of weaving life into art and art into action. Her sweet words fall on your soul like the softest feathers, soothing any distress right out of your days.
-- J. Ivy, Grammy award-winning poet, author, actor
These short, thoughtful poems are a wise woman's recognition that true wisdom comes with scars--and that the light that finds us after the darkest night is most beautiful when seen through the prism of tears.
-- Regie Gibson, literary performer poet, author, educator
A playlist of passion, purpose, and personality that only Jimmie could bring with such depth, honesty and energy.
-- Stacy Eden, slam artist, poet
