0:20 "Glory Bound"
5:41 "Wildflowers"
Starting as a happy accident of solo singer/songwriters getting together for a one-time-only performance at a tiny guitar shop, The Wailin’ Jennys have grown over the years into one of today’s most beloved international folk acts. Founding members Ruth Moody and Nicky Mehta along with New York-based Heather Masse continue to create some of the most exciting music on the folk-roots scene. The trio stopped by War Memorial Auditorium’s historic Attic Lounge to play some songs off of their most recent album, “Fifteen”, and discuss everything from bringing their music to the US to keeping folk music relevant in world where pop rules the charts.

Here I am a grown man, listening to Wildflowers with tears rolling down my cheeks, listening to what sounds like the voices of angels. The vocals are flawless and the harmonies are sublime.

In an intelligent world, all of the homogenized crap that passes for popular music these days would be relegated to obscurity and the world would worship genuine music like this made by real musicians playing real acoustic instruments instead of assembly line Pro Tools "product".

I don't know if you all believe in God or not, but some of your songs I sing in worship the creator of the universe and whom I believe gave you angelic voices. In my journey in life and my wandering spirit, I really relate to many of your songs. Your music has been a huge blessing to my life. Now I just have to decide which album I am going to buy next. God bless you!

They are engaging. It's too bad commercial country stations aren't open to this kind of thing because it's clear that people would want to hear it. These girls could work steadily on the Gulf Coast circuit. We have a few groups like this.

@tracyavent-costanza346 Жыл бұрын

this really isn't country, it's follk. the song apparently was written by tom petty (of rock and roll but with country roots). His version comes across a lot differently. the jennys pretty much made a major it out of it. and the reference to aiofe o'donovan. when I first heard this interview I did not know who that was. she pronounces it "EEFE" (probably irish) and she is a music act to behold in her own right, also to be found on YT
