Eilen Jewell w/Jerry Miller

Signature Sounds recording artist Eilen Jewell has quickly distinguished herself as one of the stars of a new generation of roots musicians. She has released six recordings, including her last called Queen of the Minor Key, which all feature a distinctive blend of folk, country, western swing, rockabilly, and even jazz. Jewell's longtime band is Jason Beek (drums, harmony vocals), Jerry Miller (electric, acoustic, and steel guitars), and Johnny Sciascia (upright bass).

But beware, savvy observer. There is more to Eilen Jewell than meets the ear. Do not confuse the singer and her songs. The drama and darkness that give Queen of the Minor Key its gritty texture are in short supply in the songwriter's personal life. And in a curious twist, these fourteen originals actually took shape in a sunny, idyllic location that contrasts strikingly with the album's moody, film noir atmosphere.

"Sometimes as darkly damaged as Lucinda Williams, at others as defiant and teasing as prime Peggy Lee and always authentically Americana in the Gillian Welch tradition....She's mighty good".-- LA Daily News.
