Music Recommendation - JANN ARDEN

[Johnny]

Here's a lady who has been around in the music scene since 1992, released nine albums (the latest of which has gone Platinum) - and she's completely unknown in the UK!!!!!



Yes, she's the one and only, Canadian singer/songwriter, Jann Arden.
Ever heard of her? Probably not.
I've picked up two of her albums over the past two years, and I guess I like them, cos they're often playing on our CD player!
Check out the link below to her Myspace site. Her latest (9th) album is an album of covers, but don't let this put you off - the old 1970's song "At Seventeen" is a brilliant version.
Check it out below, and tell me what you think?

This song has really, really grown on me.
I love the drum beat, and Jann's beautiful pitch-and-fall style of vocals. It's an awesome song, and easily my favourite that I've come across over the past few months.
Check it out below (especially Sarah-Jayne and Sarah!) and tell me what you think:

I really like this Johnny, she has an interesting depth to her voice. Such a shame that artists like this don't get to be heard very often in the UK.

Interestingly, when I was in Norway last year, they have loads of artists similar to this. Why can't we sort it out in this country?!!

Keep 'em coming Johnny, I'm liking hearing new stuff.

I'm in love with Jack Savoretti at the moment, his album is stunning and again not many people have heard of him. I know he's the wrong gender to be up your musical street though!!
