"..her songwriting and vocals are reminiscent of Suzanne Vega, while some songs have the same trippy Renaissance flavor as very early Pink Floyd."
-Witches & Pagans Magazine, 2009
"At the forefront of each song is accomplished musicianship that doesn't trip over itself. What the ear hears is lush music that conjures stories, even if no one is singing. The recording is a personal way for Ms. Haynes to serve up music that's representative of where she is now as a musician and as a person."

IN THE STUDIO
You may notice my calendar is a little sparse for the fall, especially when you compare it to the non stop dates of July and August. My new CD is about 1/2 way to completion, so this month I'll be spending a lot of time in the studio.
I've been posting some studio pictures in my 'Recording 2009' photos here on my myspace, and on my website: www.jessiehaynes.com Plus there are some videos on my website & at: www.youtube.com/merlynsdaugther.
And I'll be posting more as the recording progresses. And you can bet I'll be planning a HUGE CD release party for this one! Lots of FUN!!

Review - Witches & Pagans Magazine, September 2009 Issue
Mysterious, beautiful, fey, elusive—all of these words describe poet-musician Jessie Haynes' new CD, The Secret Life of Cinderella. This lovely CD is a work of art from start to finish—from the magickal collage liner art, to the poetic power of Haynes' lyrics, to the
delicacy and artistry of the instrumentation. In fact, this musical "fairytale"—I think back in the 70s they would have called this a "concept album"—is a fully conceived and lovingly executed multimedia work about the power of imagination as the true source of magic.
It's no surprise that her songwriting and vocals are reminiscent of Suzanne Vega, while some songs have the same trippy Renaissance flavor as very early Pink Floyd.
Jessie Haynes brings her considerable skills and talents as a musician, singer and poet to a project that must obviously have been a labor of love: it is so richly drawn and emotionally diverse. Haynes sings, and plays guitars, bass, keyboards, recorder and percussion. "The Secret Life of Cinderella" ranges from gentle acoustic folk to heartfelt, gritty blues. Her sweet soprano is deceptively delicate on songs like "Beyond the Wishing Well" and "Sister", where the interplay of her voice, soft guitar and powerful lyrics is nothing less than heartbreaking. "The Rowan Tree" is a dark-toned instrumental, redolent of autumn fires and rising mists, and "You and Eye" is a stunning evocation of the Dark Goddess ("She can take us through the Dark") that just gives me goose bumps each time I listen to it. Things heat up a bit on "Fortune Surfer," a sexy, bluesy stomp which expertly pairs Jessie's fey vocals with a restrained but evocative guitar and bass line. Here more of a driving rock edge comes forward and Haynes performs with passion and swagger.
Haynes' The Secret Life of Cinderella is a beautifully conceived,
produced and performed CD, a lush work of art. Highly recommended.

Every time that we listen & write music... play an instrument... dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... something is healing inside...
When we share it with friends... something is healing all over...
cada vez que escuchamos o escribimos musica... tocamos un instrumento... bailamos... o trabajamos en procesos de ingenieria de audio/imagen/video.... algo se sana por dentro...
Cuando lo compartimos con otros... algo se sana en todas partes...
