| | Joyce Breach Songbird CD Joyce Breach Discography of CDs
Joyce Breach is indeed a songbird; backed by the Jerry Melaga Trio, Breach's classy voice caresses 12 pop standards as lovingly as a mother cradles a newborn. However, except for "You and Me," "Peel Me a Grape," "I Believe in You," "That's All," and "Lady Sings the Blues" -- her heartiest vocal -- the arrangements are redundant and indistinguishable from one another. An unusual CD in that it gets stronger as it tracks along. A little attitude would give Breach's recordings more substance; she sings straight-forward with little vocal drama. ~ Andrew Hamilton

Purchase Songbird CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Joyce Breach Confessions CD (1991)
Songbird album
 $12.09 
This is Joyce Breach's first Audiophile recording; Songbird was her first album, but it came out when she was residing in Pittsburgh (cassette only) on a local label and was later reissued by Audiophile -- hence the confusion in her discography. Accompanied by the Loonis McGlohan Quartet, the cabaret singer's sound is spick and span clean on an array of pop standards done with reverence. Breach's love for this style shows in her phrasing and understated enthusiasm. A few solids include getting her swing on with "I Wish I Was in Love Again"; "Bored," a lively track ...

Jennifer Terran’s highly personal, inventive music has inspired rave responses from music lovers and publications all over the world (Telerama, Uncut, Rolling Stone, Oor etc.). Her albums have made several top-ten lists including “Second Best Album of the Year” (for her 'THE MUSICIAN') in the Times of London.RABBIT, Terran's sophmore release, was produced by Terran and engineered by Julie Last, who's engineering credits include Joni Mitchell's "Turbulent Indigo"; Ricki Lee Jones' "Traffic From Paradise", Sean Colvin, John Lennon and others. This elaborate EP is achingly beautiful, fun, sometimes humorous and like all of Terran's music, refreshingly original. From her mock glamour album cover & sung thank you list, to her poignant songs & powerful delivery- 'Rabbit' is one of her more experimental recordings to date. PRESS QUOTES"A HIGH INTENSITY APPROACH TO POP: Her songs are intense, personal… she has the voice to pull it off and sounds a lot like, well, Jennifer Terran. Grade A" LOS ANGELES TIMES"Often compared with Tori Amos, in my regard, Terran is singer/songwriter of a higher caliber."UNIVERSITY REPORTER"There's something going on here, something different and real that sticks. Remarkable... equal to that of a young Joni Mitchell." - L.A. WEEKLY"Endowed with a voice or heartbreaking purity and with a melodic talent, Jennifer Terran will most likely rise rapidly to the level of the greats." TELARAMA (Paris, France)"Breathtaking... timeless... pure... monumental.... Categorizing Jennifer Terran is impossible.

A truly magnificent Film Noire Diva and a world-class songwriter-singer. This woman is unique, captivating vocalist, pianist, tenderly rebellious songwriter, producer by raison d'etre and necessity, hip-hop dynamic instructor and dancer, story-teller, an existentialist philosopher, an emotionally and intellectually charged teaser and provocative presence and most certainly a daring-devil entrepreneur."HERALD TIMES PARADE - (London, UK)"Not everybody ...

| | Woodshed Tonic & Gin CD (2006)
Songbird album
$16.45
You don’t often see a band that plays mostly instrumental jam funk, but also dips into lyric heavy pop-rock, flowing composition and also features a drummer whose legendary beard puts him in the rare company of pirates and lumberjacks! You don’t often see it, but The Woodshed isn’t exactly your typical band. This trio plays a blend of jazz, rock, and funk that is picking up new fans every time they play!Hammond heavy funk gnarls give way to elegant guitar lines and syncopated drum breaks all grounded by an impressive Soulive style keyboard/bass juggling act! The Woodshed presents a very wide variety of styles and moods throughout a set, and is able to take any jam soaring to the stratosphere, then snap back blissfully to the song form."We really try to play with the idea that absolutely anything can happen" says keyboardist Andrew Grosvenor, "It means that sometimes we might fall flat on our faces, but it really brings energy to a set, and always results in some absolutely amazing moments."One of the band's signature songs, Andorra, was written by guitarist Jeff Rhoades. It starts with a majestic opening that gives way to bubbly chase ...
