To her infinite credit, Eilen Jewell has never been
tempted to churn out a sanitized and commercially viable version of
Country with a view toward success and fame.

In 1991, Nirvana roared out of Northwest obscurity and into the global consciousness with Nevermind,
an album of almost incomprehensible magnitude and influence. Three
short, tempestuous years later, Kurt Cobain turned his back on his brief
run and enormously potent legacy in a horrible, irrevocable act of
abdication.

Ultimately, the singer/songwriter game is
about life experience and incorporating that into one’s art. Eilen Jewell has
life experience to spare; a rural Idaho childhood where she learned to
play piano, college in Santa Fe, N.M., where she busked and learned to
perform, and then to Boston where she prospered in one of the country’s
most competitive Folk scenes.
