Description
Must Have Music will re-release Eilen Jewell's "Letters From Sinners and Strangers", making radio- and audience favorites like Rich Man's World, Too Hot To Sleep and Heartache Boulevard available again for fans to buy on CD.
Boise-born and Boston-based, Eilen Jewell has quickly distinguished herself as one of the rising stars of a new generation of roots musicians. Her first two albums, Boundary County (self-released, 2006) and Letters from Sinners and Strangers (Signature Sounds, 2007) were astonishingly assured efforts, which matched Jewell's understated yet insightful songs with a rugged blend of Americana styles.
They were met with a great deal of acclaim, with No Depression raving "Jewell is showing she can wander with the best of them, and write riveting song-stories about her adventures along the way." Indicative of Jewell's strong following in Europe, The Word described her as: A voice of real distinction [that] manages to transcend some powerful influences and pierce the fog long enough for her own point of view to emerge."
"On those albums," she reflects, "people told me they heard folk, country, western swing, rockabilly, and even jazz..."
