Details:
Jenny Goodspeed's debut CD Under the Ash Tree is a delicious mix of folk, pop, and jazz drawing on influences from 70's era singer/songwriters like Joni Mitchell, Laura Nyro, and Bruce Cockburn. Well-crafted lyrics, evocative chord progressions, and sweeping melodies abound as Goodspeed explores the intricacies of love and longing, all the while informed by the surrounding New England landscape.

Recorded at Signature Sounds Studio in Pomfret, CT, an impressive cadre of musicians join her including Jim Henry (Tracy Grammar, Mark Erelli) on acoustic guitar, Richard Gates (Patty Larkin, Suzanne Vega) on electric bass, Eric Platz on drums, Duke Levine (Mary Chapin-Carpenter, Jonatha Brooke) on electric guitar and mandolin, Janet Taggart Blake on cello, Seth Glier on keyboard, Chris Turner on harmonica, and Beth Amsel on harmony vocals.

"Jenny Goodspeed has an angelic voice and writes, hands down, the best melodies you'll hear. I think you're going to love her"
--Beth Amsel
