This CD should be played a lot.
author: Barry Todd
Oy Vey! This is a great CD. If you like well-written songs sung by a serious talent, you should own this CD. The songs are smart-assed, funny, sad, well read, hopeful and defiant. Rachel's voice is really world class. The band is killer and if you are musician, don't be jealous, just listen and learn. You will be happier and healthier for it.

Yay! More great songs!

After listening to Jonah Days for 3 days straight, I've got to say that this is a terrific CD. It has even more of what I loved on her first CD—good singing, an amazing variety of styles, great instrumental licks, and lyrics that grab you at once, and then slowly sink in and nudge you a few weeks later with an "Oh! So that's what she meant!" And how she can do that with such succinct texts I'll never know...they are juicy enough on first hearing! It just goes to show that her debut album was no fluke, but the first expression of her continuing talent. I'm grateful she is continuing to share it with the rest of us. There's a lot of wisdom in these songs. My current favorite track is Trick, but history shows that I'll have several more favorites before I'm done!

Randy Newman Should Sue You!!!
author: chris robley
Jonah Days comes in nice shiny shrink wrap and has beautiful artwork on the cover. Oh, and the music... some of the best tunes being written in the Northwest right now. These songs are smart, funny, dark, melodic, twisting, unpredictable. Actually, I think randy newman might have penned them and paid rachel to produce and sing. Jonah Days is an eclectic tension-and-release collection that somehow maintains its focus and core despite flying in a thousand directions at once. Way to go. Can't wait for the next one.
