Jenn Lane's latest release. In A Magazine is a bold statement from a woman who has had it with the media's constant bombardment of images of unobtainable beauty standards...ie; the fashion industry's obsession with youth and being unbelievably thin.
Jennifer touches on sensitive issues , such as spousal abuse, getting older in a world that exalts youth, and even the plight of migrant workers, from a migrant woman's point of view.
This album was elegantly recorded with the best musicians and engineers. Jennifer took her time to produce this piece of work. Her care and attention to detail make listening to her work a moving and thought provoking experience.

Album Review |
"Jennifer Lane's newest CD, In A Magazine, just plain rocks! Plush full sound! Rich harmonies and horn lines. Cool funky grooves. Maybe you've seen her in one of her frequent appearances with her bass player at Elway's. That act (Jennifer Lane's Rock 'N Soul Duo) as fun as it is, pales in comparison to what she can do in the studio with a full band and her own original music. Notably, Paris Delane from Sonia Dada sings on a couple tracks and the rest of the musicians are just as good. A few of the highlights: "I'm So Ready" starts out gospel and then goes funk. "In This House" has a cool dance/funk groove. "River of Truth" has a more serious tone, illustrating Lane's ability to change things up. "Bone Happy" is a slightly naughty love song. We'll let you decide what it's really about. There's a tasty long piano solo on "River of Truth." There's cool horn work on "She's Strange." Clearly, Lane spent a lot of time producing this album. It's perfect!
Buy this album if you like music that means something." |

Jennifer's first release is a fabulous collection of covers and originals. Sweet Long Cool Drinka' Water comes straight from her gut. Paying homage to those who inspired her, Tower of Power, Carol King and Etta James, she ad's her own special interpretation to familiar standards as well as a few rockin originals.
