Look My Way 2:43
" She's long been beloved on the L.A. folk circuit with good reason; she's not only a fine and seasoned songwriter, she's a tremendously appealing vocalist who could have had a career singing other people's songs if she didn't write her own. Delicately produced by Jeannie with the team of Franklin Spicer and Bruce Ablin, who also engineered, the tracks are all elegantly understated: finely focused around Jeannie's sweet vocals, and accented gently by acoustic guitar with tasteful percussion, drums and other subtle touches. Most of the tracks don't even have bass, but it works. These are stately, aching melodies, often with jazzy turns throughout. She's a seriously good melodist – the songwriter wisely providing the vocalist with some seriously good material. "Since You Went Away" is an ideal ballad of loss, which bursts into rich harmonies (sung by the legendary Alex Del Zoppo of Sweetwater along with Kris Jarvis and Pam MacLean, who also team up to bring great richness to other tracks, reminiscent of Todd Rundren at his most lushly harmonic). "Paris Song" is a lovely romantic wish to live a life of love in the City of Lights. Dale La Duke's elegiac accordion is the ideal ingredient to lend this track a Parisian spirit. Several of the songs detail equations of the heart, such as "The Heart Is The Place," and the closing song "Plans With You." Set only against a single acoustic guitar and keyboards, she sings, "They say a heart knows at a glance/but now and then must take a chance" and leads into one of her most sumptuously poignant songs. This is a beautiful collection of songs by a singer whose purity of spirit comes across on every track. Check it out – it's heartwarming." - Paul Zollo
