Best-known for her eye-opening deconstructions of songs by American rockers, Jungr has been attracting growing international attention for boldly adding new names to the Great American Songbook, names like Bruce Springsteen, Leonard Cohen, David Byrne, Neil Diamond, Hank Williams, and Elvis Presley. By stripping these songwriters’ of their recorded accoutrements, the British singer lays them bare, proving that many of these rockers are not a breed apart from predecessors like Gershwin, Kern, Mercer, and Berlin.
Man in the Long Black Coat is Jungr’s first live show in New York devoted entirely to Dylan.
