Sea of Tears
On April 21st, Signature Sounds releases Eilen Jewell’s third album, Sea of Tears, a recording that fills in a vital, hitherto missing element of her musical persona. “Before I discovered Woody Guthrie and folk music,” she explains, “I was listening to Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, and, later on, the Animals and the Kinks. I love that stuff, and I love to play it.”
With Sea of Tears, Jewell and her longtime band of Jason Beek (drums, harmony vocals), Jerry Miller (electric, acoustic, and steel guitars), and Johnny Sciascia (upright bass) wed her elegantly unflinching songwriting with a rustic, pre-Beatles swagger that encapsulates vintage R&B, Midwestern garage rock, Chicago blues, and early rock and rockabilly, while maintaining the haunting, folk-inspired purity that first made her an artist to watch.
*****EILEN JEWELL MUSIC ON TV!!!*****
On July 26th, Eilen's cover of the Johnny Kid classic "Shakin' All Over" from the album Sea of Tears will be heard on HBO's hit vampire show True Blood-episode 206!

Eilen's "How Long" from 2007's Letters From Sinners and Strangers was placed on the TV special "Earth 2100" on ABC in June. You can see/hear the segment on on youtube...its about 5 minutes into the clip.

Sea of Tears remains at the 7 spot on the Americana Music Chart ...spending 5 weeks in the top 10.
SOT is the album of the month in More Magazine: With a voice like maple syrup, this singer-songwriter puts her distinctive stamp on a delicious stack of offerings
ALT.COUNTRY.NL: Eilen Jewell is ingehouden sexy; haar countrysnik in feite pure jazz. Ze zingt zo makkelijk, forceert nergens.
No Depression: Jewell evokes the same knowingly dolorous spirit as contemporaries Madeleine Peyroux or Jolie Holland as well as her obvious vocal influences Loretta Lynn and Billie Holiday. With her casual, along-for-the-ride delivery, Jewell convincingly conveys heartbreak and disappointment as routine and expected parts of her day.
Off Center Views: Jewell’s languid vocal is icily sexy. This music is where rockabilly, Chicago blues, café jazz, country, ands swing collide and create a new musical galaxy.
California Chronicle & Idaho Statesmen: "Sea of Tears" retains some twang _ it includes a cover of Loretta Lynn's "The Darkest Day" _ but the inspiration comes mainly from '50s and '60s rock. The results, however, are just as mesmerizing.
Great to see you all in Vienna and Middletown. So glad to see the new Midwest dates!
