notes
With a voice described by many as "healing" and "angelic", Jean Watson is quietly but passionately the healing love of Christ through her music. Jean's sound is otherworldly and eclectic, drawing on classical, folk, and pop influences. Trained as a classical musician, Jean uses her skills as singer, violinist, songwriter, and arranger to create her own unique genre.
Though a woman of small physical stature, one cannot be around Jean for long without being touched by her huge passion for God and her deep compassion for people. It is this love - this childlike belief that even small things can change the world - that drives Jean. Her purpose is to share faith and hope with as many as possible, using all her gifts to breathe hope to the hurting. And her music does that. Her listeners are touched...sometimes not knowing by what or why.
"Unveiled" is Jean's first CD using the talents of Irish producer Joni McCabe and the City of Prague Philharmonic. For the first time, we hear Jean's talent enhanced by some of Europe's finest musicians. The songs, the arrangements, the performances are excellent in their own right. The heart behind the music shines and inspires...even beyond what the ear can hear.

original light-classical folk art
author: Paul DavisRemember the name. From Michigan, Jean Watson is a crystal-clear “singer- songwriter- musician” of refinement. A tunesmith of original light- classical folk-art who knows her Celt-gospel craft through and through. Produced by John McCabe (of Keith Getty fame) for edification and easy-listening, the elegantly-rich sounding project boasts some multi-colored self-penned gems among the hymnal evergreens. It’s good to hear her lesser known new songs amid such classics as “What Wondrous Love Is this”, ‘Lord Of the Dance”, “Nearer My God To Thee” and “King of Love”) each of which have been commendably treated anew. The devotional songs are given the Watson warm-violin treatment augmented by the majesty of the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. This breed of album is nowadays moderately uncommon and therefore, will be sought out by the Celtic-folk devotee.
worshipful music with an orchestral feel
author: Trevor RaggattThis album from a Michigan-based singer, songwriter and instrumentalist brings together a selection of her own compositions, traditional folk hymns and sacred music in an easy listening meets classical styled package. There's no doubting Watson's skills as a performer. Jean's clear, strong voice betrays her classical training without ever becoming so ornamented that it sits awkwardly in the modern arrangements. Her own compositions are gently meditative and delve into the mysteries of faith. "Mystery Unveiled" considers the miracle of the incarnation, "Purple And Red" the depths of the Father's love for his children while "Mother's Day" is dedicated to mothers who have known the loss of a child. The hymns are handled with similar delicacy - even school assembly favourite "Lord Of The Dance" has Celtic-tinged new life breathed into it. Sonically the CD is sumptuous; tasteful contemporary production from Keith Getty collaborator Joni McCabe and strings provided by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra see to that. If your tastes run to gently inspirational worshipful music with an orchestral feel then 'Unveiled' will add welcome textures to your CD collection.
Beautiful Christian CD. Pick up a copy today!
author: Charles N. and RadioIndy"Unveiled" by Jean Watson, is a CD that has a cleansing and healing effect. This effect is the result of Jean's beautiful flowing voice backed by impressive arrangements and excellent recording quality. There's a noticeable mix of electric, classical, folk and pop influences on the CD. With neatly welded musical instruments, and its appropriate vocal match, the CD puts at the disposition of the listener a distinct spiritual source of relaxation, a sense of liberation and internal freedom. The passion of God uniquely articulated via the lyrical compositions of this album, suggests that Jean has an ardent love for God and the talent and compassion to communicate His love. It ministered to us as we listened to the title "Nearer my God" over and over again. This number, which has a classical feel, sung with perfect vocal pitch and accompanied by a skillfull play of piano, truly takes the listener many steps closer to God. Wow! the title "Come Holy Spirit," has a beautiful display of violin, woven into its appealing lyrics, and attests to Jean's talent and spiritual side. It helps prepare one's heart for the Spirit of God. If you enjoy comtemporary Christian melody that touches the soul, you will enjoy this CD. Pick up a copy today!
blown away
author: Steve Bradley (Imaginary Friend - UK)I am blown away by your voice - such clarity and very 'Old English/Celtic' a bit like Loreena McKennitt/Enya/Mary Black - Some of the electronic percussion and sub bass is a bit evocative of Bjork's stuff - Superb production - great orchestra/band. May God's Grace and Blessing continue to be poured out on you in your ministry
