Thirty Tiger

Places the ebony-haired vocalist between obscure vintage pop and modern progressive songwriting. Think Lee Hazlewood and the Tams meet Tom Waits and Greg Garing with a little Mable John thrown in! In a world where people know she's a world-class vocalist, Strange Conversation opened new avenues for her gifts - whether it was Neil Sedaka's My World Keeps Slipping Away, which was pitched directly to her by the songwriting legend himself, or the McCrary Sistersembellished take on Andre Williams' Put A Chain On It, which takes a soul gospel turn on the blues that's part barrelhouse, part grindhouse, and part church house. Equally intriguing is the carny Western take on Sonny & Cher's A Cowboy's Work is Never Done, with the gravel-voiced John Hiatt. The quaver in Barnett's voice moves from wideopen to resigned; Hiatt is tall in the saddle, equally wry and knowing. Barnett has been called "a torch singer in the grandest sense of the word" by the Chicago Tribune, while People magazine has praised Barnett's natural musicality, and the New York Times her vocal finesse.

Finns inte många artister som Jon längre. Ett tag dominerades mångas samlingar av Steely Dan, Boz Scaggs, Bill Champlin, Bill LaBounty och alla dom andra - men återväxten har varit minst sagt klen. Jon är perfekt för alla som diggar denna genre - en genre som har många namn. Västkust? Soulpop? Perfekt pop? Oavsett nam på musikstilen, kvalité saknas sannerligen inte; Lagom funky, alltid superbt spelat och låtarna är rakt igenom top notch!
