ZamBamBoogee cd of original music at the Joyful Jewel 7-28-15

ZamBamBoogee
Music cd

Should have put this cd by Zambamboogee up for National Dance Day last Saturday because it is THE best dance music.  Also, music for your intellect and fun-loving spirits.  Susanne Saunders mellow yet gritty voice is heard throughout along with Joey Howell who solos as well as harmonizes and plays amazing guitar.  Bruce Saunders with his bass, Scotty Young's harmonica, and Travis Cohn's drumming hold it all together with their expert beats and riffs.  My favorite is a song by Joey Howell, "Ellipitical" which talks about Pluto coming to town and has amazing space like sound and lyrics -- space like the paintings I have Joey create!  And when you are ready for quiet reflection again, just gaze on the captivating artwork on the cd cover.

Kathleen Hannan & Friends "Seen & Unseen" cd at the Joyful Jewel 7-17-15

"Seen & Unseen: Songs from the Light of Midlife"
by Kathleen Hannan & Friends
cd

A favorite cd of many Joyful Jewel patrons -- and includes some of them singing with Kathleen Hannan as in "& Friends"!  Kathleen's voice and the power of these timeless lyrics illuminate more than the title "Songs from the Light of Midlife" might describe.

Tommy Edwards "Old Songs New Songs" cd at the Joyful Jewel

"Old Songs New Songs" CD
Tommy Edwards
$15

Tommy Edwards' choice of songs, along with fine production by Jerry Brown, has made this my favorite of all his CDs. Tommy uses songs from bluegrass masters to set the tone. But his original "hidden gems" are the heart of the record, and they artfully expose the underbelly of lost love, broken lives and corporate greed in our society. The harmonies are soft as silk and the picking superb. Be sure and give Tommy and our other musical artists a listen the next time you visit - and don't forget that music makes a great gift!

Brenda Linton "The Secret" cd at the Joyful Jewel 6-24-14

"The Secret"
Brenda Linton

cd

$15

Brenda Linton has two cds for sale at the Joyful Jewel.  This one, "The Secret" features one of the crowd favorites, that certainly elicited loud clapping and whooping last Saturday night when she sang it along with Hanna Sullivan, accompanied by Tony Sullivan on guitar.  "Quiet Love" is one of Brenda's original songs sung with her spot-on heart-breaking tone.  It's about the deceiving things we tell ourselves to deny love and about the unlearning that can happen when love burns strong and deep enough to overcome our doubts. Brenda says, "For I have living proof right here before me in the form of quiet love."  Quiet love, the sweetest kind.

Joe Woodson's cd "Sailing on Dry Land" at the Joyful Jewel 3-21-14

"Sailing on Dry Land" cd
Joe Woodson and the Bean Trees
$15

It's here!  Joe Woodson's new cd, full of original America songs backed by Paul Rosenberg, Jordan Koronet, Bill Hicks, Alison Weiner, and Art Champagne, these are songs of love, of adventure, with a sense of humor and excellent musicianship.  Joe has one of those voices that slide like velvet on smooth age-patinated leather, caressing the lyrics and making you want to move in your chair.  I could listen to him all day -- and sometimes do!  

The cds are here now so you can get a preview, and we'll have the privilege of hearing Joe in person, at his "CD Release Party" at the Joyful Jewel on Saturday, May 3, 7pm.  Joining Joe will be Paul Rosenberg, Bill Hicks, Jordan Koronet and Art Chapagne.  Sharon Blessum will set the stage with a few of her lyrical poems and there may be a surprise guest joining the group.  The music will be followed by a potluck so bring a favorite dish, and come ready to party.
