Comfort to the Soul is Ana Popović's second studio album, released on October 7, 2003 on Ruf. The album was recorded in Memphis and produced by Jim Gaines. [3] The album consists of five songs by Popović and six covers, showcasing not just the well-known blues artists ( Howlin' Wolf), but lesser known performers ( Susan Marshall), and even rock songs that work well in the blues environment ( Steely Dan's "Night by Night"). [7] Popović introduced some jazz elements into Comfort to the Soul, and the album won a jazz award in France, 'Jazz a Juan-Revelation 2004'. [8] [9] She surrounded herself with seasoned musicians (such as Reese Wynans who had played with Stevie Ray Vaughan as part of Double Trouble) as a statement that she was a blues player to be reckoned with.
