Jenny Lewis recorded her new album in Nashville with the producer who has helmed some the decade’s most exciting country music, but don’t call “Joy’All” country.
“That’s the thing,” Lewis says over Zoom from her home in Nashville. “It’s not an Americana record. It’s not a country record. It’s got elements of rock-and-roll, rhythm and blues, soul. … I’ve been writing songs like this since the ’90s.
As with most music released in the last few years, the shadow of the coronavirus looms over its production: Lewis had begun work on the album before the pandemic shut down the world, and didn’t hit the studio until the spring of 2021. In that way, the title nods to the gratitude she felt being able to work on her craft.“It was still pretty dicey out there, and I hadn’t done any shows yet or eaten inside a restaurant,” Lewis says of the recording period.
Lewis returned to the road in the fall of 2021, opening for Harry Styles on the pop star’s raucous “Love on Tour” effort. The pandemic had provided Lewis her first break after 20 years on the road, and she returned to the stage with a perspective informed by having some distance from a lifestyle that is “completely bananas.”“What musicians do out on the road, it’s insane,” she explains. “It just doesn’t make any sense for mental health and physical well-being, and all the vices are there.
“It’s entertainment. I’m there to create a mood, and hopefully one that’s uplifting, and I want to make people happy as well,” she says. “That’s always challenging: the puzzle of making it all fit.”
