Jane's style marries dynamic vocals and plush harmonies with surprising lyrics. Her songs use alternative guitar tunings that pick up where Joni Mitchell left off.
After completing this record, Jane breathed a sigh of relief and retired her guitar. She is now a Spanish bilingual school librarian. Her husband, Chris Kee, is the bassist and main songwriter for High-Octane Americana band Houston Jones, who recently won "best band" at the Strawberry Music Festival. Jane also dyes and spins llama wool into yarn and spends summers on their five acres in British Columbia. They have four cats and two big dogs.
The CD's title means "The Mermaid" in Greek. The record is named for an oral Greek myth about Alexander The Great's sister. I gorgona (pronounced "ee gore-GO-nuh") was recorded at OTR studios with producer Cookie Marenco. Cookie, a former A & R executive with Windham Hill, received five grammy nominations for record production, a gold record, and has worked with artists from Kristen Hersh and Mary Chapin Carpenter to Max Roach. i gorgona features players like Joe Gore (pj harvey), Jim Campilongo (The Little Willies), and Scott Amendola (Madeliene Peyroux; The Nels Cline Singers). |
