Jackie Marshall & The Black Alles Band - Ladies' Luck

Ladies’ Luck is one of those rare gems that is more than just a collection of songs - it is closer to an invigorating emotional odyssey that bares the righteous soul and chest-bursting heart of the artist-as-heroine Jackie Marshall. This album entwines multiple themes, stories, and experiences to form a rich tapestry of emotions, exploring themes of love, resilience, and how not everything is black or white.

Featuring an impressive lineup of talented musicians, including songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and frequent collaborator Chris Pickering, strings sorceress Savannah-Jo Lack, songwriter and guitarist Heath Cullen, Greg Cathcart (Speedstar/Silent Feature Era), Adrian Mauro (Machine Age), and Richard Johnston (Speedstar/Our Ithaca Creek) - who all bring depth, nuance, and their own inspiration to Jackie’s vision. Part of this record’s uniqueness is its breathtaking production, which was deftly guided behind the faders by Ben Tolliday (Lord Huron). Tolliday also recently re-mixed the record for this special vinyl release, capturing the dynamic sound of a band and incredible talent in full flight and at the height of their powers.

Jackie’s distinctive voice and poignant lyrics are already well known to the discerning music fan, and Ladies’ Luck is another incredible document marking her musicality and songwriting. From the defiant ‘Still F*#@ing Up’, to the quiet, brooding and melancholic ‘Should’ve Drunk More’, to the psychedelic and raucous ‘Ugly Man’ and her astonishing re-interpretation and definitive version of Paul Brosgarth’s ‘Excuse Me Mister (That’s My Heart)’, this record swings from vulnerability, humility, and introspection to strength, sass, and swagger.

Critically acclaimed for its authenticity, Ladies’ Luck has been praised for its “stunning blend of heart and soul” (Rolling Stone) and is not only a must-have for fans of Jackie Marshall, but all fans of heartfelt storytelling and authenticity in music.

Ladies’ Luck is out now on special vinyl release from Suitcase Records, with custom artwork designed by acclaimed visual artist Guy Burwell. Have a listen - everyone needs a little luck in their life.
