Description:
The follow-up release to the acclaimed album Hopetown, released on Black Hen Music in 2004. Both of Jenny Whiteleys releases, Hopetown (2004) and Jenny Whiteley (2001) were Juno Award winners in the Roots/Traditional Album of the Year category. Dear picks up where Hopetown left off, using many of the same musicians, including Amy Milan (Stars, Broken Social Scene), Dan Whiteley, Joey Wright (Sarah Harmer), Chris Whiteley, and many others from the Canadian roots music scene. Dear masterfully blends folk/roots style and instrumentation with contemporary production elements and sounds to create an overall timeless and unique sounding album. Jennys clear and classic voice takes centre stage and sure to be compared with the work of female singer/songwriters such as Lucinda Williams and Emmylou Harris. (Black Hen)
