The original Jenny Whiteley

"Jenny Whiteley comes by her musical talent honestly, and this album is a fitting celebration of her great fortune to have grown up in one of Canada's great musical families ... On The Original Jenny Whiteley, we get a sampler of music she's played over the years, from traditional bluegrass numbers like "Groundhog" and "In the Pines," to well chosen covers like Chris Coole's "100 Dollars," to originals like "Malade" and "Banjo Girl," co-written with husband Joey Wright".

"What a delightful CD. Jenny Whiteley is a Canadian who seamlessly fuses the old and new. She has a voice of character and hits every note she goes for spot on. Opening track "100 Dollars" sets the scene, a new song that deals with the usually tiresome subject of playing in a band in a most refreshing way. Tasteful banjo, guitar and harmony vocals set the pace for what follows. A well worked "In The Pines" is next up and the same formula has Whiteley singing the hell out of the song ... Highlights are everywhere. The arrangement of the Incredible String Band's "Log Cabin Home In The Sky" turns it into a completely new song as does the old-timey feel used to interpret Dylan's "Oxford Town"".
