Album Notes

Jennifer Peterson's song-writing style upholds a tradition of empowered women in music like Joni Mitchell and Carole King. She combines the subtleties of Sarah McLachlan with the pop-appeal of Sheryl Crow. Her powerful performance captivates and inspires audiences. Her lyrics are bold and melodies, contagious.

Jennifer Peterson has developed a loyal following in the Chicago area playing venues such as Schuba's, the Abbey, Martyr's, and the Chicago Cultural Center. For the past 2 years, Jennifer toured with a 3-girl fronted band playing country venues in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Virginia, and Maryland. Some highlights included opening for Kenny Rogers, Emerson Drive, Lowen & Navarro, Billy Currington, and Gretchen Wilson.

Jennifer is excited to return to her solo career with fresh songs and new inspiration. In today's musical panorama of stereotypical divas and bubble-gum pop, Jennifer Peterson fills a void. She is a woman amongst girls with something powerful to share. Jennifer Peterson is genuine, passionate, and one of today's top independent artists.

*****************

"Jennifer's voice really carries this release: strong yet not overpowering, passionate and pretty with a twinge of upper-midwest twang. Catchy melodies and excellent production...allow her great voice to really shine. Votes for best tracks are the dramatic, build-up of the closing "Loud Enough," the jazzy/sexy "Sullen Eyes" and...the very sexy, up-tempo "Only One."

*****************

"In Your Hands," the melodic third track, finds her establishing a more distinctive style of writing and singing. "Only One," the album's solitary rock tune, paints her as a believably bad ass lover who declares, "Shut your mouth, get over here and love me," while "Sullen Eyes" is rendered as a slinky jazz tune. Electric violin and cello player Shawn Cooper provides a dramatic backdrop for the slow and romantic "Loud Enough."
