Eilen Jewell might well be the best Boston based singer right now. Her third album Sea of Tears has written instant Americana classic all over it, with ten originals and three choice covers. She sings totally at ease backed by her trusty cohorts Jason Beek (drums, harmony vocals), Jerry Miller (electric, acoustic, and steel guitars) and Johnny Sciascia (upright bass). Vintage rock 'n' roll mixed with rockabilly, country and jazz are bursting at the seams - it sounds like a long lost early sixties album.
Eilen Jewel sings like as well-rested Dusty Springfield, while guitar player Jerry Miller comes up with licks that are halfway between Hank B. Marvin and John Fogerty. Quentin Tarantino should hear this one it, and hopefully use a couple of tracks in one of his future films.
Sea of Tears is released on Signature Sounds.
