Album Notes

Angie Pierce Jennings is a natural storyteller with a collection of songs that express what she’s seen of the land, its wildlife, its people, and its history. She writes and sings about experiences like scaring up pheasants while walking through a pasture, riding her horse bareback, sensing a cougar cat’s shadow, and hearing a wild canary’s song at her window.

Backwood, Angie Pierce Jennings’ self-produced debut album, unearths a gifted songwriter with amazing sensitivity and depth. The songs are revealing and honest, and the echoes of the country can be heard in each one. Once you hear her voice, the room quiets and you’re immersed in a well-told story. Her songwriting is like a secret being told, and right away she has your ear. Hearing her words, really listening, is like searching your own memory.

Poetic, lyrically driven, modern folk music. A single voice spun with a single acoustic guitar creates a musical whole greater than the sum of its parts. It’s a rare intimate sound that brings the listener very close to the artist.
