denver’s jenna herbst set out to write and record a song per week for 8 weeks, and at the end of the 8 weeks she had, assumingly, 8 songs which she lovingly entitled her “songbird challenge.” all the songs were recorded in her living room, for what its worth. jenna is in the band the juniper trees and sent these songs out to the fans of her band. after the songs were set, she got with mark raynes to mix and master them and the end result, plus a couple other songs, is songbird. i have not heard the entire record, but the few songs i was sent, i am definitely digging. she’s got a lovely voice, which is always a huge plus, lyrically she’s very solid and her musicianship is simple yet effective. less is more in this case, let the voice and lyrics paint the picture. really look forward to hearing the entire record. definitely recommended…
