Details:
BURNS LIKE FIRE signals Jaane Doeâs dynamic return to the music world and her debut as a solo artist. The album contains ten heartfelt, introspective, artist-rendered songs with vocals that exude realness, and vulnerability as she shares intimately, the intensity of her life experience. Jaane sings about heartbreak, loss, longing, the quest for that human connection, and the truths that accompany such lessons in life, evoking those same emotions in her listeners as she reveals her inner-self.

One might categorize the work as Americana/Folk, yet some of the more ethereal tracks (Never Cried, Circle of Love) border on cross- over pop. The albumâs one cover of Willie Nelsonâs âCrazyâ, a hit for Patsy Cline, is vocally reminiscent of that by-gone era in Country, yet hauntingly intimate and simplistic in its arrangement. With lots of lap steel, dobro, and mandolin, served up with acoustic guitar, BURNS LIKE FIRE maps itself into the region of cross-over country as well.

The incomparable Matt Smith, an in-demand N.Y. session musician who has been heard with B.B.King, Sheryl Crow, Greg Allman, Johnny Winter, Buddy Guy, Los Lobos, Ed Gerhard, Portishead, Adrian Legg, and Trey Anastasio, sits in the Producerâs chair applying stream of consciousness sensitivity that puts him in tune with Jaane Doeâs artistic vision, as the CD is expressively colored to complement Jaane Doeâs substantial lyric and melodic content.

Jaane and Matt working together on this project is a re-kindling of a musical connection that goes back many years to when they were starting out, in upstate N.Y. playing together in the band Sea Stone. The two create a viable marriage artistically, as they blur the edges of genre constraints and make a recording that has something for everyone.
