Simply Beautiful
author: Evan
Look up "pretension" in Websters New Collegiate Dictionary. Now skip to the words listed as its antonyms. Nestled squarely within that list is Jerin's first studio album, Alive. It is so obviously heartfelt, so strikingly simple and so beautifully serene that every track on the album serves as an oasis in the strange storm that is your iPod shuffle list. Her pure joy of playing and her emotional attachment to the songs are impossible to miss. Definitely go see her live - you'll never regret seeing her smile and cringe as she sings these songs - but in lieu of that pick up this album. I challenge anybody who hears this album all the way through to not fall immediately and irrevocably in love with Jerin.

Jerin Falkner's "Alive" is wonderful!
author: Nicholas Young
Alive continues the wonderful sounds that one can hear in the Pike Place Market. This CD takes many of the songs from her earlier album, Reflections, and reworks them to perfection. These songs remind me of the beautiful acoustic music of Joni Mitchell and Judi Collins. You will not be disappointed if you buy this CD.
