About Album
The Swedish singer/pianist Ida Sand's previous albums had channelled jazz, pop and folk influences. "My Soul Kitchen" is Ida Sand's clearest declaration yet of her love of "sweet soul music", and is also a demonstration of her deep affinity for it. Together with the Stockholm Underground band Sand has cooked a 'hot soul casserole'. There are songs by soul greats such as Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and The Meters, which are completely at one with both Ida Sand's own tunes and with her soulful interpretations of the music of artists like John Fogerty and Mike Shapiro.

"Amongst spirited covers of songs by the likes of Al Green, Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles, it is the four tracks penned by Ida Sand herself that elevate the overall quality of this album to something quite special."
