EILEN JEWELL
Honesty, confidence, and respect permeate Eilen Jewell's music, dating back to her self-released Boundary County album in 2006. Since then, the Boise native has recorded five studio albums for Signature Sounds with her road-tested touring band, and two more as a member of the Boston-based gospel-charged Sacred Shakers (also on Signature Sounds), which includes that well-oiled band at its core. Her latest, Sundown Over Ghost Town, is a masterful culmination of Jewell's work to date, and rolls out May 26.

As hard as it is to categorize Jewell's musicterms like alt-country, roots-rock, country-noir, and Americana get used a lotit's even harder not to become thoroughly enraptured by the singer/songwriter's powerful versatility, musical stories, and images. And that gorgeous voice makes you feel like she's singing just for you, out on the breezy back porch or by a crackling campfire. She does so much, so well.

A few examples: Butcher Holler, Jewell's acclaimed 2010 tribute to Loretta Lynn, underscores her love for tough traditional country music, coal miner's daughter style, while her electrifying cover of "Shakin' All Over," originally a 1960 chart-topping British hit for Johnny Kidd and the Pirates, was one of the surprise highlights of 2009's Sea of Tears. Propelled by Jerry Miller's shimmering guitar dazzle, the song remains a live showstopper where hints of '60s surf instrumentals and "Paint It, Black" are deftly thrown in for good measure. On 2011's Queen of the Minor Key, featuringguest appearances from the likes of Big Sandy and Zoe Muth, Jewell penned all the songs. One of its radio favorites is "Warning Signs," with references to a black widow, a rattlesnake, and a beady-eyed raven. Jewell calls the song "creepy." The Boston Globe called Minor Key, "emotionally raw and riveting," and an NPR commentator declared, "She's got a sweet and clear voice with a killer instinct lurking beneath the shiny surface."
