-----------------------
Once in a great while, you put on a CD by an artist youÆve never heard of
before and time stops. The voice is new, yet timeless. The lyrics are original yet
feel immediately familiar, lived-in, knowing. And the melodies ù expertly
performed by a first-rate band ù carry an easy, memorable groove.
This is the story of Eilen (rhymes with feelinÆ) Jewell. It started after her 2005
self-released debut, Boundary Country, made its way into club-ownersÆ hands,
onto a handful of radio shows and around the press circles of Boston, her current
home base. Reaction to EilenÆs music was swift. Many compared her talents to
those of Lucinda Williams, Gillian Welch and June Carter Cash. The Boston Globe
said, ôThe slow organic sway of her melodies, and the sensual way she rubs
against the low end of her register, will remind some of Gillian Welch. Also like
Welch, her writing is both intimate and vivid, classically framed and closely observed.ö
And now begins chapter two in the story of this 27-year old Boise-born talent:
the release of her national debut album LETTERS FROM SINNERS & STRANGERS
on Signature Sounds.
Letters From Sinners & Strangers promises to show the rest of the world what the
buzz is about. JewellÆs heart-achingly hushed style and intimate grasp of roots musicÆs
wild graces are revealed in the CDÆs provocative, melodic originals and timeless
country and blues classics. Set to a swaying, irrepressible groove, the subdued
emotion in her soft soprano feels like music straining beneath skin. And her band
evokes classic country, folk and swing without feeling nostalgic. Nothing about roots
is retro in Eilen JewellÆs universe.
