"Blue Again showcases Magness' powerful eloquence, as she delivers her interpretations of blues classics from artists as diverse as Etta James, Bo Diddley, Freddie King, Nina Simone, Al Kooper and Joe Hinton ... Blue Again demonstrates why Magness is one of our best contemporary blues singers. Her vocal power and range allow her to take on any song; her phrasing and pacing enable her to make the most of the songs she's singing. Her ear for the just-right tune to interpret is impeccable, and her deep acquaintance with the blues allows her to play with a song's structure to find its best sonic skeleton and add flesh to it".
