Jenny,
When I first heard you sing at LVs 90th birthday party, I was amazed at how lovely your voice was. I finally bought your "Out of the Blue" CD and your voice is as spectacular as then. I hope to see you again at one of the KYR events so you can sign my album.

pure and timeless Americana
author: Trots Allt
"Jenny Yates has been writing songs for Garth Brooks, Kathy Mattea and Ronnie Milsap. But when she, herself, sings her songs - written in co-operation with Kieran Kane, Andrew Gold and Gary Nicholson - it's not about middle-of-the-road-mainstream-boring-country, it's about pure and timeless (70's smelling) Americana. Jenny's voice is the centre-piece, and it's a voice that convinces you from the first bar - A kind of clear and concious tone, not unlike Linda Ronstadt. Proud and beautiful!"
