jenny's tribe

Tracy Chapman type tone with a mix of Carly Simon and Joplin, wrapped up with a hint of evil and anger somewhere in there. Sweet backing harmonies, with a hypnotic sense. Nice grooves and an overall great presentation. I wouldn't say rock, straight up, but I would class it with the same genre as an angry Dave Matthews with intelligent lyrics, and I love it. I'm sure the masses will also. This is almost in its own catagory...I would call it the "Jenny has a beautiful gift" genre. Very impressive, oh yea, love the bluesy lead guitar riffs.

I would love to hear her sing [Zep's] "Black Dog", that has to be awesome. - Dave Pope from Kurtz (Atlanta)

"I just want you to know how much I appreciate your 'Hollow Body Heal' album...I can relate to all the thoughts, emotions and spirit that come through so powerfully in those songs...it will forever be the musical connection to this crossroads, this life changing time in my life."
-- Todd Buckman (Boston, MA)

"She has a presence onstage. I can't stop watching her."
-- Shannon Lepore (Boston, MA)

"[She was] definitely the best drummer on campus...the Ziljians she punched holes through during one gig!..."
-- Chaz Rita (Grinnell, IA)

"'Blue' runs through my head on a regular basis. That truly is an amazing song, never heard anything like it, honestly... 'Magic Words' is another that plays in my head a lot. If 'motherf**kedness' isn't a word, it should be."
-- Carl Mamuszka (Cambridge, MA)

"This singing chick's got some lungs on her... think she'd hang out with me? Jenny's music is termed "anti-folk", but really, she just rocks."
-- DJ Tyranny (NYC) - Fans say...

We were impressed overall by the quality of [the] music. [Her] ability to write songs of a high standard certainly comes across on the recording. The melodies...also very impressive. There is a slightly dark and mysterious side...The guitar riffs are also of high quality, especially in Sweet Tension. And in terms of a favoured song from those submitted, that was the stand-out track. If there was one criticism, it would be that the intros are slightly too long... - Brian Scally, Reach 2004 (Dublin)

The music [reminds me] of Blind Melon and the 4 Non Blondes second record -- two of my favorites of all time except she's are a better vocalist than Linda Perry. But the piano stuff is my favorite... Gave me a Carole King vibe. - Jamie Forbes, Tribal Wisdom (Boston)

We are psyched to have her. The deciding factor in selecting her was a few things: Her songs are great!...and the number of instruments she plays makes for a great broadcast. It should be sweet. - Derek Tremblay, Evolving Artist (Southbridge, MA)

[Jenny tackles] subjects that many have addressed before but ... taken a different approach with lyrics and created a new perception. This is very hard to do...[She has] a unique way of communicating... This is very special and a songwriting goldmine!
- Lior Shamir, We Are Listening Managing Director (London)

Try on an ingenious and not-at-all-contrived blending of self-effacing folk, complex art rock, and metal. Jenny Elizabeth Jones puts a new spin on the folk/rock combo with a voice of sweetness and power, and songs that match hard with smooth. - CNET music.download.com (San Francisco)

...Trippy, soulful hip-hop rock - but with creative twists. I mean, for example, how many bands in the hip-hop genre can successfully incorporate violin into the mix?...The tracks that caught my ears the most were for the words and Jenny's wonderful singing punctuating the rap; 'Radius' - funky rap rock, featuring Jenny's stunning vox; 'On The Bus' - the violin in this one really added an earthiness to this soulful rocker; and 'Reluctant Stowaway' - a slow, groovin' number... - Debbie Catalano, SoundCheck Magazine (Boston)
