Including
all original tunes written and co-produced by Jenny, her debut CD
plays host to eleven regional musicians who added a rich layering
of instrumentals and vocal accompaniment.
“She is such a strong songwriter,” notes Rick Krajnyak-
sound engineer and co-producer of the album, “ that you can do a
lot of things with her songs and not take anything away from
them.” Regardless
of instrumentation, the clarity and the message of each song shine
through. From the aching When You Go to the funky groove and national steel guitar of Blue
Moon, Jenny Lynn Golding’s self-titled first album will
surely be vying for airtime on your CD player. |
Make yourself at home
in the music of the moment, of a love, of a lifetime.
Jenny Lynn Golding’s uncanny talent for molding
simple lyrical and instrumental themes into a delicate, yet
visceral sound suggests personal reflection; the result is a
juxtaposition of resonance, words, and emotion that brings
listeners to say “I know she wrote that song about me.”
Since her debut in Blacksburg, Virginia, Jenny’s
favor has spread among regional audiences in Virginia, New York,
and her newfound home of Yellowstone National Park.
Her self-titled CD, which emerged as something to pass
among friends, has sold out and is now in it’s second pressing. Dubbed “reminiscent of the great Joni Mitchell,” by
the Floyd World Music Festival, Jenny’s contemporary folk
style hints at influences from artists such as Dar Williams, Kate
Wolf, and Nancy Griffith.
The simple a cappella and hand percussion of You
Can’t Get There from Here tells a universal story.
Written in a stick-shift farm truck, while running late and
out of gas, “behind the slowest guy in line,” Jenny portrays
the urgency of life under pressure and the cathartic release of
living in the moment.
Save the World brings us back to the innocence of childhood
and draws out the ideals that have perhaps been forgotten.
Maybe Robert Fulghum was right; all we ever needed
to know was learned in kindergarten. |
