Whelanslive.com presents

EILEN JEWELL

plus special guests

"Sometimes as darkly damaged as Lucinda Williams, at others as defiant and teasing as prime number Peggy Lee and e'er authentically Americana in the Gillian Welch tradition … She's mighty good." –The LA Times

Inexplicably not notwithstanding a household name, alt-country starlet Eilen Jewell may exist already known to more people than realise it through her amazing rail 'Shakin' All Over' featuring prominently on theTrue Bloodsoundtrack. Championed past roots music enthusiasts and alt-land fans alike, Eilen Jewell is often mentioned in the aforementioned breath every bit beau travelers Gillian Welch and Jolie Holland.  Her latest anthology, the wonderfully titled 'Queen of the Minor Fundamental', is Jewell's virtually powerful creative statement notwithstanding.

Since her official 2006 debut, Purlieus Canton, Jewell has surveyed a wide range of traditional musical styles, from the folk and jug band leanings of her early recordings, through an album-length homage to Loretta Lynn and the country gospel of her work with The Sacred Shakers, correct up to 2009′s Sea of Tears, which bristled with the electricity of '60s United kingdom garage rock and Chicago dejection. Queen of the Modest Cardinal draws on everything from archetype state (the fiddle-driven "Reckless") to early R&B (the shuffling "Hooked"), with an accent on sounds from the seamier side of the tracks. With dirty sax riffs and low-slung guitars, the instrumentals that bookend the album—"Radio Metropolis" and "Kalimotxo"—evoke the bump-and-grind exotica of vintage Southern California suburban saloons. Yet on the flipside, Jewell imbues slow, jazzy numbers like "I Remember You" and "Only One" with torch and tenacity that linger long past last call.

A discussion on 'The Queen Of The Minor Key'

It is the dilapidated cassette jammed in the tape deck of the getaway car, the music Ida Lupino cues up on the roadhouse jukebox as she counts the till after close. This is Queen of the Minor Fundamental by Eilen Jewell, a smart cookie with a heart of burnished golden and enough stories to keep even the rowdiest oversupply hanging on her every word. Though its long shadows and dark corners make her kingdom feel intimate, her sovereign domain stretches every bit far equally the imagination. Its denizens seek refuge in padded rooms, abandoned automobiles… and strong spirits. They defend their territory past any means necessary: weird voodoo, sawed-off shotguns, broken bottles.

But beware, savvy observer. In that location is more to Eilen Jewell than meets the ear. Do non confuse the vocalist and her songs. The drama and darkness that requite Queen of the Minor Primal its gritty texture are in curt supply in the Boston-based songwriter's personal life. And in a curious twist, these 14 originals actually took shape in a sunny, idyllic location that contrasts strikingly with the album's moody, motion picture noir atmosphere.

In Baronial 2010, Jewell headed to a tiny cabin in the mountains of Idaho. Although her association hails from the Gem Country, this was no comfy retreat at the family fold. Her temporary home had no running water or electricity, and sat at the terminate of a winding clay road. Wild elk would graze in the surrounding meadows while she worked. When information technology was time to unwind, she availed herself of a nearby hot springs. A battered truck she found on the property even made its mode into the album artwork.

She had no ready game plan, and her sole objective for the new material was refreshingly modest (or incredibly daunting, depending on your point of view). "My goal equally a songwriter is to always improve," she demurs. "Every time I brand a record, I desire it to be even more existent, more heartfelt, than the one earlier it. I desire the ho-hum songs to be slower and the fast songs to be faster." Drawing on a connoisseur's love of roots music and a author'south eye for particular, Jewell fashions her musical vignettes with impressive economy. Each turn of phrase and chord change is executed with an élan that belies the measured precision behind it.

Jewell is wary of repeating previous success by following formulae. "But I likewise don't desire to change things only for the sake of changing them," she adds. Never underestimate the public's ability to recognize calculation masquerading equally inspiration. "You lot always want to ride the creative procedure to new territory, without beingness overwhelmingly novel."

Towards that finish, she experimented with dark sense of humor in the new material. The title tune takes inspiration from a poke someone fabricated about her harmonic preferences. "I decided to run with that and prefer the moniker, even if it started off every bit a nickname that wasn't necessarily intended to be flattering." "Bang Blindside Bang" eschews the cliche of Cupid as a rosy-cheeked cherub ("he'south more reckless and trigger-happy than that"), and replaces his petite bow-and-arrow with a gun testify six-guess, plus a laughing disregard for such trivial concerns equally aim.

Queen of the Modest Central is also the offset Eilen Jewell album to feature a significant number of invitee players, fifty-fifty as she continues to work in close espoused with her longtime trio of drummer Jason Beek, guitarist Jerry Miller, and upright bassist Johnny Sciascia. Zoe Muth and Big Sandy (of Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys) both contribute vocals. "I was writing the songs with them in mind—if I could work upwardly the courage to ask them—so I was actually honored that they agreed to sing with me." Farther augmenting the audio are Rich Dubois on fiddle, David Sholl on tenor and baritone saxophones, and Tom West on organ. The arrangements, Jewell insists, occurred organically as the music was fleshed out in the studio; the songs tell her where they want to become. "We don't actually think it out that much."

Eilen Jewell is the Queen of the Minor Cardinal. Sad songs are her wealth and finery. Lend her your ears, and you will apace hear why her apprehensive subjects admire and adore her more with each passing year.
