“I survived because I discovered long johns.” - “Warm homecoming for duo of Leslie Alexander and Jenny Allen” by Mike Bell

Sept 27, 2011: BC Musician Magazine

“You break a folk-singer’s heart? She’s gonna write a song about you, and it’s gonna get on the radio, and then you’ll be sorry.” - “Airing their dirty laundry” by BC Musician Magazine

Sept 26, 2011: ISSUU

Allen's sound is based in traditional country/roots. She's smart and has the cynicism that comes from one too many bad decisions or relationships. It gives her songs an edge and makes her interesting. Her experience has been hard won and her songs are expressed honestly without flinching. - “Jenny Allen - Blanket” - BC Musician Magazine

June, 2011: Baby Sue

Produced by John Ellis, Blanket is a resounding success of all levels. The songwriting is top notch. The arrangements are lush and full. And Jenny's voice is absolutely incredible. - “Jenny Allen - Blanket”

Nostalgia feels good on title track Blanket, and Allen nails a funny country attack on barflies on Face The Music. - “Jenny Allen - Blanket” by Sarah Greene

May 11, 2011: Roots Music Canada

Jenny Allen has all the firepower she needs to make some very real impact. She has a great voice and a sturdy sense of herself. She has surrounded herself with a crackerjack group of players. - “Jenny Allen’s ‘Blanket’ - a connection is made” by Eric Thom

 

New Album!

Fresh from the pressing plant these CDs are so new you have to buy them directly from me. Fortunately I'll be touring to somewhere near you and have lots of copies, so come out to a gig and pick one up. Be the first on your block to have your very own Jenny Allen Blanket! (And yes, if you can't make it, the album will eventually be available from iTunes, CD Baby, and all the usual outlets -- but not yet!)
