32-year-old Jackie BristowâS new album, Crazy Love, on Craving Records was produced last year in LA with MARK HOWARD (Tom Waits, Lucinda Williams, Marianne Faithful, Sheryl Crow) and Helik Hadar (Rufus Wainwright, Joni Mitchell). Musicians on the album include Tim Pierce (Tom Petty, Tracy Chapman, Rod Stewart), Brian MacLeod (Sheryl Crow), Zak Rae (Alanis Morissette, Macy Gray), Daryl Johnson (The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Emmy Lou Harris), Michael Chaves (John Mayer, Sarah McLachlan), Jay Bellarose (Aimee Mann), Don Heffington (Bob Dylan, Lucinda Williams) and Grammy-award winner Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Peter Gabriel).

Inspired by her music teacher, Jackie began singing in choir at age 8 in Gore, her small rural hometown on New Zealand's South Island. Encouraged by her grandmother, Jackie and her sister swept up a string of regional Golden Guitar Awards and by age 14, The Bristow Sisters were seasoned pros. At 17, Jackie enrolled at the Invercargill Polytechnic Music School and began her writing and performing studies her in earnest.

In 1995 her muse led her to Australia where she worked tirelessly as a nanny-by day and a late night singer in often lonely clubs. Five years later, a copy of her demo reached the desk of Michael Gudinski, who signed her to write for Mushroom Music and record for Liberation Records.

They released several hit singles and a well-received debut album, Thirsty, in Australia and New Zealand. Her songs have been used repeatedly in Australian film and television in hits such as The Secret Life Of Us and Home And Away and Go Big. She has toured with Art Garfunkel, Madeleine Peyroux (January, 2007), Renee Geyer, Mark Seymour and Capercaille, and in 2006 she opened a tour for Daniel Lanois, who said, from the stage, âshe sings like a birdâ Recently, her song âThis is Australiaâ won Tourism Australiaâs Song Competition and has been featured in a worldwide promotion campaign.
