Album Notes

"As her commendable album Far Enough Away proves, she's got a fine ear for strong material, as well as a distinct and sensitive way of putting across a well-written lyric. But don't mistake her for a sensitive folkie: She puts rock 'n' roll muscle into her interpretations, grabbing listeners by the throat rather than whispering in their ears." --Nashville Scene "In my next life, I'm coming back with Jen Cohen's voice." --Singer/Songwriter Janis Ian "Her songs are the iron fist of rock roots inside the velvet glove of blues and folk... Her voice exemplifies her phenomenal emotional range and intensity, balancing it on the fine line between sensitivity and gut-checking power." --ACE Weekly "Her song selection is impeccable -- she is undoubtedly one of Nashville's most soulful pop stylists. One of my best bets for huge success!" --Billy Block, Host/Western Beat Radio/WSIX Nashville "Jen Cohen has an undeniable gift for finding great songs and delivering them with respect, passion, superb musicianship, and thoughtful interpretation. She's a songwriter's dream." --Lydia Hutchinson, Editor, Performing Songwriter Magazine "After 30 years of listening to music, Jen Cohen is one of the reasons I still enjoy coming to work everyday." --Ken Gorka, The Bitter End, New York City Straight from Nashville, the heart of American music, Jen Cohen is no stranger to the stage. Belting out a soulful mix of rockin' blues and countrified folk, she has become one of the most popular college entertainers in the country. With her backing band of experienced Nashville musicians, she struts her way through tender ballads and rollicking pop jams, bringing audiences to their feet with a show that is absolutely unforgettable. A Magna Cum Laude graduate of Yale University, Jen finished school, immediately threw down her textbooks, hopped a ride to The Music City and grabbed a microphone. A popular fixture on the Nashville club scene, her focus on the pop and blues side of songwriting has created a large, loyal following. Her second CD Far Enough Away has been in the Tower Records Local Top 10 since it's release. Not bad, considering who her neighbors are! Jen has created a stunning repertoire carefully chosen from the catalogs of Nashville's finest songwriters. That means she's got great material but it is her voice that demands attention. At once bluesy and tender, Jen's voice has a resonance that is striking. As legendary singer-songwriter Janis Ian has said, "In my next life, I'm coming back with Jen Cohen's voice."
