Uncompromised, beautiful, powerful, innovative, groundbreaking- "THE MUSICIAN" is a record that stands in a category of its own and is one of the most honest and soulful records you will ever hear! Written, produced, arranged, engineered and mixed by the very talented, Jennifer Terran. The Musician is continuing to get great recognition: **** FOUR STARS in Rolling Stone; Best Album of the Year (Heaven Magazine); 2nd Best Album of the year in The Times (London) A little about Jen: Jennifer Terran is an outstanding musician, vocalist, pianist, songwriter, entrepreneur and too many other things to mention. With her independent record label, Grizelda Records, she has put out five phenomenal solo records since 1997: "CRUEL", "RABBIT", the rich universe you are about to explore, "THE MUSICIAN", "LIVE FROM PAINTED CAVE" and her latest wonder, "FULL MOON IN 3". Terran has been blowing away critics and listeners alike for years with music that makes you really think and feel. It's just beautiful, intense, pure, real, inspiring stuff that's a little difficult to explain away by the usual descriptors. Many people upon hearing Jennifer's music and her unbelievably beautiful voice are reduced to tears, though Jen has a definite sense of humor that can make you laugh you're ass off. Anyway, you're going to love this woman's music! She is simply in a category of her own. And all we can say is that if you're reading this, be glad! Jennifer's a rare, rare talent. You won't be finding her music to be out of date or sounding stupid in ten years, because the musicianship and songwriting is outstanding and because she's putting to light aspects of life that are essential to who we are. She's a master of beauty and intensity and has an amazing ability to deeply move people in a most intimate soulful way. WHAT CRITICS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT JENNIFER TERRAN: (for more reviews or complete articles go to her web site) HEAVEN: "Voor THE MUSICIAN van Jennifer Terran ruil ik zo vrijwel het volledige repertoire van Tori Amos in" - Eric van Domburg Scipio LA WEEKLY "There's something going on here, something different and real that sticks. Remarkable... equal to that of a young Joni Mitchell." UNIVERSITY REPORTER: "Often compared with Tori Amos, in my regard, Terran is a singer/songwriter of a higher caliber." - Michael De Mayo NEW TIMES: "Gorgeous melodies, mesmerizing voice, thoughtful lyrics... Terran is a potent, innovative, serious artist; her music will drive straight through you." - Glen Starkey LA TIMES: "A high intensity approach to pop... intense, personal... Grade A" - Bill Locey CAMPUS CIRCLE: "Terran has a unique musical gift. With her words as well as her music, she conveys a mixture of grace and rage... it is this strange juxtapositon of moods that makes Terran's work so powerful... she is a force to be reckoned with." - Jenni Balsam THE INDEPENDENT: "Terran's vocal ability is staggering. Her songs are beautiful... Terran's musical ability seems virtually limitless.... The album successfully captures the absolute originality of Jennifer Terran." - Mark Fahey LA WEEKLY: "You know what's scary about singing? It comes directly out of a person, which implies that it directly represents the person. Hardly anybody has guts enough to do that, so singers are usually "jazz" or "blues" or "rock" or "soul" or something that allows them a little distance. Jennifer Terran sounds as if her singing might be herself. It's not that she bleeds all over the floor, though she's plenty intense. Her songs (self-written and pianized) just seem to come from a specific place with strong melodies that take natural but unexpected turns. They're about love, hate, whatever, it doesn't matter, the only thing that does is that there was a personal reason for them to exist. To deliver them, Terran happens to possess a remarkable soprano, and a level of control over it equal to that of a young Joni Mitchell." - Greg Burk KCRW: "When I first heard this disk, I was captivated by the power of your voice and the songwriting..." - Chris Douridas / "Morning Becomes Eclectic" BAM MAGAZINE: "Jennifer Terran is a stand out diva!" - Carey McDonald COASTAL REVIEW: "That's the thing with transcendentalism, it hardly lives up to its name unless it carries you away. Well Jennifer, it did carry some of us away. We just left our bodies back there on the Plaza Theatre chair." - Gary A. Schlueter VENICE MAGAZINE: "a gifted singer" Venice Magazine MUSIC CONNECTION: "If Amos and Cole can be a hit, this certainly can as well." - Scott Lenz POSITIVELY STATE STREET: "Tori Amos and Ani DiFranco combined couldn't take on Terran's integrity." - Marko 72 _________________________________________________ We recommend you check out the "Human Reviews" on Jennifer's Web site or the VENT page: www.jenniferterran.com TO LEARN MORE ABOUT JENNIFER TERRAN, PLEASE EXPLORE THE WEBSITE www.jenniferterran.com & myspace.com/jenniferterran Check out the artist's website: http://www.jenniferterran.com Track List: 1.
