Editor's review
Reagon fuses traditional blues with a rocker’s flair for the dramatic and a sweet soulfulness—rare treasures in the often-predictable world of contemporary folk blues. The genre has been accused of being all played out, but Reagon don't play it that way--she plays her way and it's mighty fine indeed.
Biography
A seasoned live performer, Toshi jumped into the spotlight when she dropped out of college after Lenny Kravitz tapped her to open for him on his first world tour. And Toshi hasn’t stopped earning the respect of musicians, the praise of critics and the love of fans since then. Just ask Elvis Costello, who was hooked after one high-energy evening in NYC—he even invited Toshi and her band, BigLovely, to back him up on a "Late Show with David Letterman" appearance.

"Ms. Reagon’s music originates in her love of mixing things up...[her] vocal style ranges from a dirty blues moan to a gospel shout to an ethereal croon." --New York Times
"Anyone who thinks rock is a dead medium need only listen to the music of Toshi Reagon and her almighty band BigLovely." --Interview Magazine
