LUCY WOODWARD is back. This time, she's drawn upon her true-blue musical influences - such as "the soulful authenticity of classic jazz, swing, R&B and Latin music" - to give rise to her third studio album, 'Hooked!'. Of her creative re-birth, Woodward states that: "As you get older and make more music, you gain a better understanding of who you are and what you need to feel satisfied. That's what this record is for me." THE OFFICIAL WORD: "The 12-song album showcases Woodward's engaging, expressive vocals and witty, insightful songwriting on such memorable originals as 'He Got Away,' 'Slow Recovery,' “Babies” and 'Too Much to Live For.' Another highlight is 'Another Woman,' especially written for Lucy by admirer Nellie McKay, who lends her harmony vocals to the track. Woodward's gifts as an interpreter of outside material are showcased on her distinctive readings of such vintage tunes as the obscure Peggy Lee number 'Sans Souci,' Hoagy Carmichael's 1930s pop standard 'Stardust' and 'I Wan'na Be Like You (The Monkey Song),' originally sung by Louis Prima in Disney's The Jungle Book."
