Jeni & Billy News Summer 2008! - June 26, 2008
Hello from Jeni & Billy!
We are proud to announce that we have mastered our new record "Jewell
Ridge Coal" and we are planning to release it in July. We are now
working on shining up our packaging and getting everything just right
so we can bring you something really special this summer. We are very
grateful for all of the help and advice we had during the recording
process from truly great musicians and producers Bil VornDick, Buddy
Miller, Dirk Powell, Gary Paczosa, Jim Reilley and Randy Kohrs. We
hope that you will look them up on their websites and support their
work too!

We were also blessed when recording Jewell Ridge Coal to have visits
from several wonderful artists. Jim Lauderdale and Randy Kohrs both
sing harmony. Shad Cobb of the John Cowan Band plays some great
old-timey and country fiddle. And Kim Peery Sherman (one of the
wonderful proprietresses of Cotten Music here in Nashville) sings
gorgeous alto harmony and plays sweet guitar.

We have just returned from the first leg of our summer tour and have
a whole summer of touring planned. We are also working on dates for
the early fall and the winter of 2009. So we hope that you'll check
our calendar and come out and see us. We want to give some advance
notice to all of the folks in the DC/Baltimore area who have been
asking us when we're going to play up there again: We will be playing
at the Columbia Lakefront on Sunday, July 27, from 6:30-8:30.

recording the show live and we'll have the new CD with us, so we hope
to see you there!
Lastly, we are happy to announce our collaboration with Jim
Lauderdale on a track for an upcoming tribute album of Sacred Harp
music. The two CD set is a companion to a fine documentary film
called "Awake, My Soul." You can learn more about the film at
www.awakemysoul.com The CD is slated for release in the fall/early
winter and will also include performances by the Carolina Chocolate
Drops, John Paul Jones & Rayna Gellert (of Uncle Earl), Tim Erickson,
the Innocence Mission, and many others.
We are truly looking forward to sharing our music with you out on the
road and on "Jewell Ridge Coal" and we hope to hear from you soon!
Our best to all of you,
Jeni & Billy
