notes

Singer-songwriters Kate Jordan & CJ McKenna offer a special blend of guitar and vocal driven music performed with a
flair! This acoustically gifted pair brings wit and wisdom to the stage, insight and passion to the music and fresh reflections on the state of the human spirit. Whether it's a waltz in Paris or under a Canadian sky - the harmonies soar and the vibe grooves!

Get Home Early features 11 of their original songs and one written by good friend Jess Thier. The CD was produced by friend and supporter Lois Brownsey. Her great direction and energy gave real vitality to the project. They were joined on the project by some very special musicians including Tony Marino, bass; June Thomas, piano, Hammond B-3, and vocals; Bill Goodwin,percussion; George Wesley, Yamaha DX-7; Len Mooney, accordion; Lois Brownsey, percussion and vocals and Kent Heckman, guitar and acoustic slide. Kent also did the recording, mixing and mastering at his Red Rock Recording Studio in Saylorsburg, PA. All graphic art honors go to Patricia O'Connor for her inspired design of the entire package. Get Home Early is filled with the talent and heart of all of these people. We hope you enjoy listening to the music as much as we enjoyed creating it.

    author: Lisa

    I have a friend in Australia who sends me local artists music. I wanted to share a local duo with her, so I sent her Kate and Cj's CD. I'm sure she will enjoy it as much as I.

  • Another great CD by a very talented Duo - never a disappointing song!!
    author: Cheryl John

    Songs are unique and pleasing to the ear - These Last Few Pounds is a tune that you don't want to stop - lots of fun.

  • An All-Access ticket to outstanding acoustic music.
    author: Ron Ungvarsky, Columbus, Ohio

    Every song is jam packed with heartfelt emotion. Two voices working together to make the music come alive. The biographic/autobiogaphic underpinnings of each song makes them that much more special. Real life merged with real harmony.

  • This CD stands above the crowd - One of the best releases of the year!
    author: Clay Tyrne, The Valley News, Waddington, Ny

    This is a harmony duo of extraordinary quality. Strong song selection across the CD and excellent overall pacing. The production is outstanding and the musicianship defintiely top shelf. Particular favorites are the haunting, "Walk Away" and the hilarious "These Last Few Pounds." "Get Home Early" is a must-buy for anyone who does a lot of driving - Kate & CJ make terrific company on the road!

  • A real treat for the ears. Kate & CJ may have struck gold! Buy it!
    author: Jim Rider, Ciut-fm Toronto, Midnight Folk Show

    An old friend loaned me a copy of, "Get Home Early" and urged me to give it a listen. I was stunned by the tightness of the vocals and the warmth of the overall performances. These are tremendous songs and Kate & CJ just might be the next big ticket in the folk world. They are now on my steady rotation list - check 'em out!
