J&R Collective artist: Jennifer Lyn & The Groove Revival - Live From The Northern Plains - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release Live From The Northern Plains, from Jennifer Lyn & The Groove Revival and I really like it. Opening with shuffle, Gypsy Soul, Jennifer Lyn on lead vocal and Richard Torrance on lead guitar really get this rocking. With Peter Green like riffs, solid piano work by Barb Jiskra, Nolyn Falcon on bass and Jim Anderson on drums, this is a strong opener. On a cover of Chris Smither's Love Me Like A Man, Lyn really digs in vocally with nice phrasing and rich bluesy feel. Jiskra lays down some real nice piano soloing and Torrance rips it loose really putting the track into a spin. Very nice. Slower blues, Going Round In Circles is one of my favorites on the release with solid vocals by Lyn and really crisp guitar rips by Torrance. Jiskra's piano work gives the track a super additional dimension. Wrapping the release is gospel influenced, You Can Take It All. Vocals by Lyn, Torrance and Anderson and paired guitar lead along the lines of ABB by Lyn and Torrance top off the track. Solid closer.

J&R Collective artist: Jennifer Lyn & The Groove Revival - Gypsy Soul - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Gypsy Soul, from Jennifer Lyn & The Gypsy Soul and it's a cool blues rocker. Opening with title track, Gypsy Soul, Jennifer Lyn on lead vocal and guitar sets of with a rocking shuffle. With Richard Torrance and a cool guitar solo and backing vocal, Barb Jiskra adding some heat on keys, Chris Addison on bass and Jim Anderson on drums, this is a solid opener. Slower blues, Going Round In Circles, is really a terrific showcase for Lyn's soulful vocals. Torrance gets loose on lead guitar adding just the right amount of tension making this my favorite track on the release. Wrapping the release is You Can Take It All with it's Curtis Mayfield like sound. Twin lead guitar solo brings to mind Betts and Allman but the track is all Lyn and Torrance. Very nice closer for a cool release.
