Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 Beautiful easy listening

| To be brief, if you are in one of those moods where you want to let a piece of music carry you away, sit down, close your eyes and go adrift with this. Absolutely beautiful harmonizing. Anyone who doesn't like this needs to slow down. |

Great recording of a great performance

| There's not much to add to the other reviews. The recording is very good for a live performance. The Wailin' Jennys sing wonderful harmonies. I only live about a 45 minute drive from the Mauch Chunk Opera House in Jim Thorpe and I did not know they were playing there - not sure how I missed it. After hearing the CD I am obsessively watching emails and their web site for future performances in my area. |

| Wailin' Jennys have wonderful harmonies and angelic sounds. Somewhat meloncolie. Product arrived in good condition and promptly. |

| I concur with the very favorable sentiments voiced in the previous reviews. I just want to comment on the exceptional quality of the recording. I've had the great pleasure of hearing the Jennys in person twice, and thoroughly enjoyed both performances. I must say though that I found listening to this album at home to be acoustically superior to the actual live shows I attended. This is marvelously produced live recording. |

Nearly as good as being there

Having waited two weeks for my copy of the CD to arrive from the US, I listended to it for the first time last night. I wasn't disappointed. Apart from some amateur videos on YouTube (usually with really poor sound), I hadn't heard the Jennys live before (they don't come to my little corner of the world too often) and I wondered whether they could really reproduce their incredibly tight harmonies live. The answer is that they can! In fact, they are as good live as they are in the studio.
Heather Masse is a great addition to the line-up - such a rich, soulful voice. Her lead vocals on Bring Me a Li'l Water Sylvie are a highlight. There are several songs from the Forty Days and Firecracker albums, including Nicky Mehta's wonderful Begin (I love that song so much) as well as a number of songs I hadn't heard before, the stand out for me being One More Dollar with Ruth Moody on lead vocals. The three a cappella numbers show off the Jennys' trademark harmonies to great effect. The album also features a fourth Jenny, instrumentalist Jeremy Penner. To be honest, I found his violin a little intrusive at times, but in general I think he added something worthwhile.
The sound quality of the album is great, the performances are both technically spot-on and genuinely engaging. All in all, another fabulous album that will delight Jennys fans and no doubt win them a few more. Well worth waiting for. |
