EILEN JEWELL & BAND

A NetRhythms reviewers' favourite album "From Sinners And Strangers"

"We have been bangin’ on about Boise, Idaho country queen Eilen Jewell ever since the superb From Sinners And Strangers’ hit the CD decks last year. Her retro-country syling (a little bit June Carter Cash, a little bit Loretta Lynn) and rockin’ sound has been the soundtrack to most of the winter here at Ark towers. Well, Eilen and her incredible band are playing a few shows in April/May in the UK whilst on a promotional visit which are quiet simply not to be missed ...." Del Day
