Jenny Don’t has a knack for blending classic country sounds with contemporary flair. Her latest album, Broken Hearted Blue, is a testament to her ability to pay homage to the genre’s roots while adding her own unique twist.
Don’t’s music is reminiscent of rockabilly pioneers like Wanda Jackson. Her energetic performances and twangy melodies are sure to please fans of classic country. The album features a talented band, including bassist Kelly Halliburton, guitarist Christopher March, and drummer Buddy Weeks, who provide a solid foundation for Don’t’s vocals.
One of the album’s highlights is “Pain in My Heart.” While Otis Redding’s version is well-known, Don’t’s take offers a fresh perspective. March’s guitar adds a unique twang, complementing Don’t’s heartfelt confession of past mistakes.
“Unlucky in Love” is another standout track. Don’t’s sultry vocals and the band’s energetic performance create a captivating atmosphere. In “My Baby’s Gone,” Don’t channels her inner Wanda Jackson, delivering a powerful and energetic performance.
The album’s diversity is impressive. “One More Night” features a bluesy foundation with a touch of cowpunk, while “Jealous Heart” evokes the classic country sounds of the 1960s.
Broken Hearted Blue is a must-listen for fans of classic country and modern music. Don’t’s ability to blend old and new sounds is refreshing and exciting. This album is sure to leave a lasting impression. – Jason Felton
