"Her talent for songwriting is pretty formidable and there’s no greater example of this than when she sits the slow country of her Hey Joe and the aching finesse of her Fisherboy between the folk classics House Carpenter and Blackwater Side, and there’s no drop in quality."
Chris Long – BBC Manchester
"Kate Rusby meets Kristen Hersh, Lucinda Williams and Anne Briggs down a dark alley and has a scrap where everyone wins."

The Mancunian folk singer's album, "English Country Garden", was recorded at home with family and friends. A mixture of traditional song and her own compositions, the album draws on her love of story-telling, traditional English music and poetry. Together with an eclectic mix of influences, there is a definite country/ folk twang and Jenny is a performer who seems able to move between the traditional folk clubs and the new folk and acoustic scene with an ease that few of her peers have managed, getting the thumbs up from Steve Lamacq and receiving Radio 2 airplay.
A singer who wanted to be a writer before she started to concentrate on songs, it was the storytelling aspect that first drew her to traditional material. Her love of reading and poetry is evident in her own songwriting and BBC Manchester said, "Her talent for songwriting is pretty formidable too and there’s no greater example of this than when she sits the slow country of her Hey Joe and the aching finesse of her Fisherboy between the folk classics House Carpenter and Blackwater Side, and there’s no drop in quality."
