About this album

Jeannie Lewis’ Looking Backwards To Tomorrow - In And Out Of Concert is a striking Australian performance album that brings together jazz phrasing, folk storytelling and pointed social observation. Issued in 1974, it presents Lewis as a fearless interpreter with a strong theatrical presence, shifting from intimate confession to sharper political and cultural commentary. The set moves between original material and carefully chosen covers, including material associated with Leonard Cohen and Stephen Sondheim, revealing her range as both singer and interpreter. Its blend of cabaret-like drama, jazz colour and folk directness makes it a distinctive document from a creative period when Australian artists were expanding the possibilities of local songwriting and performance.
