'There is a faint hint of Lotte Lenya meets Bob Dylan... on this odd, but refreshing and strangely touching album.' Martin Gayford, The Telegraph April 2002
'Part of the sublime beauty of Every Grain of Sand is that it inspires, even challenges, one to make personal revisions and reinterpretations. Ultimately, Jungr is one of the few artists who has managed to not only come out on the other side of this song book unscathed but to actually come out having enhanced its gravity, significance, and unvarnished beauty, as well as her own. She is not merely singing, but telling stories. She opens up a window of vulnerability and sensuality that previously sat stoic beneath the surface of these songs, and suffuses them with such a delicate, gauzy luminosity that they seem to glow from the inside out. Her singing is soulful and emotionally naked, and the performances so expressive that you take something new away with each listen.', Stanton Swihart, All Music Guide, USA, September 2002
'Moving and beautifully crafted', Diva Magazine April 2002
'Never less than arresting. Jungr has a big voice with a tremendous expressive range, and she reveled in Dylan's wit and lyricism. Resist the urge to shout 'Judas'. Simon O'Hagan, The Independent on Sunday 18 March 2002
'Barb Jungr performing the songs of Bob Dylan - and doing so rather wonderfully.' , Caspar Llewellyn Smith, Sunday Telegraph
'A collection that, if there's any justice in the world, ought to elevate Barb Jungr beyond mere cult celebrity', Alan Clayson, Record Buyer, June 02
'At home with pop and blues as well as jazz, the immaculate Barb Jungr has won a well deserved reputation as Britain's answer to Juliette Greco and Serge Gainsbourg.' Clive Davis, The Times June 2001
'Jungr, at once glamorous and crazed....an outstanding cabarettist',
Ismene Brown, The Daily Telegraph July 2001
'Possessing nothing as dull as orthodox talent...an English Piaf is just what the world needs'. Alan Clayson, Record Buyer and Music Collector 2000
'This is a stunning album. Barb Jungr's true voice and emotion have been given wings and fly', Suzanne Chawner, Women In Music Magazine 2000
'Barb's interpretation of Brel's Marieke is so beautiful and haunting it's hard not to fall instantly in love with it', Michael Hootman, G Scene Magazine August 2000
'Barb Jungr has found her niche, she is superb', Sandra Lawrence, The Singer, October cover feature. 2000
'She is quite unlike any other singer I can recall.....vocally she is unique', Michael Darvell, Whats On In London, February 2001
'Jungr wrings every drop of emotion from each song, her slightly husky voice lending itself beautifully to this music....The recording is excellent, Jungr's voice is perfectly captured with real presence', Hi Fi + Magazine, 2000
'Barb Jungr is one of the best chansonniers this country has produced in a very long while', Miss Volare, The Maverick Club August 2000
'With a history stretching back to the original alternative comedy boom, skewed cabaret diva Barb Jungr's work has seen her work closely with the likes of Julian Clary and Alexei Sayle, as well as directing a tribute to David Bowie, touring productions at the Edinburgh festival and recording CD's for various labels. Expect the unexpected would seem to be a suitable cliche here' , London Evening Standard, June 2001
'Barb Jungr is a true original. Her smoky voice -- which sounds as if it has been marinated in Silk Cut and bourbon, and vibrant personality add up to a scintillating cabaret performer'. Mark Shenton, The Stage
