Jill Newman grew up in Vancouver, started playing guitar in her teens and once played in an all-female Led Zeppelin tribute band. Now based in the Pacific North West, Jill and her band play around Seattle and up into Canada, the recent release show for this CD being in Vancouver. This is Jill’s third album and it includes nine originals and one cover.

The musicians are, one assumes, Jill’s regular band: Scott Smith on guitar, Patrick McDanel on bass, Kelly Van Camp on drums and harmonica. In addition Annie Jantzer adds backing vocals to five tracks, Peggy Lee cello to one track and keys are added to seven by Joe Doria or Chris Gestrin. Jill herself handles lead vocals and lead, rhythm and slide guitar, even giving a credit to her dog Lucy who lay by her side as she composed the songs.

Jill’s vocals are clear throughout and she avoids any of the histrionics to which some singers resort, making this a pleasant listen. There are some blues influences here but the music is probably more in the Americana field. /John Mitchell, Blues Blast Magazine
