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.
