   About Susan Werner
..Please Note: This MySpace page is the official Susan Werner MySpace page, and is managed by Susan Werner with a lot of day-to-day help from Vincent.

The new album is here! With Classics, Susan Werner delivers entirely new string arrangements of mainstream popular songs by top songwriters from a "classical" pop era - the sixties and seventies. Drawing on her unique training as a classical vocalist and the diverse talents of esteemed Boston Symphony and Pops players, Classics sets a mood that highlights elegance and sophistication previously overlooked in the first lives of songs like Paul Simon's A Hazy Shade of Winter, Marvin Gaye's Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology), Paul McCartney's Maybe I'm Amazed and America's Lonely People. Classics has been featured nationally on Mountain Stage, and will soon be featured on NPR's Weekend Edition.

Quotes on "CLASSICS":

The Beach Boys' "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times" comes off so well the listener may wish Werner had done an entire album of Brian Wilson compositions.
All Music Guide

"...a fascinating record...inspired. 4 Stars."
Daily News, Mckeesport, PA

"...unique and noteworthy...a single, startlingly new concept."
Cover Lay Down

"...sublimely artful...So tasteful, so good!"
Philadelphia Daily News

"...completely new and insightful."
Direct Current Music

"[songs] as stunning as they are surprising."
-Cedar Rapids Gazette

"...brand new and at the same time...hauntingly familiar."
Stereotypd.com

Hi there! Hope you're having a great week. I put your time between trains CD on a huge compilation I use while I'm giving massages, so needless to say, I've heard that disk a bit! I've always wondered if "the 88 out in the hall" were more ceiling tiles or more lovers?!?!?! Always makes me laugh to think of it whenever I hear it. Hope it gave you a chuckle too! Peace, Cathy

hey there, Susan Werner!

well, it's been a long and winding road, and an even longer time coming, but my debut CD, 'I Remember', is FINALLY HERE!!! YAY!!!!!

to celebrate, American HeartBeat Records(tm) has arranged a FREE DOWNLOAD of "Now Is The Time" in exchange for a valid email address. "Now Is The Time" is a brand new, upbeat song I wrote about hope for America's future, and the world.

we've got a bunch of exciting things planned to kick this whole thing off, and we need to get a better picture of who our friends are, so the FREE DOWNLOAD form will ask you a few questions, like, what's your country and nearest major city. it all takes maybe 15 seconds.

anyhoo, the FREE DOWNLOAD, and the FUN, begins at www.JAETCHISON.com

I look forward to getting to know you a little better, and I thank you SO VERY MUCH for your friendship and support!

please tell your friends about JAETCHISON.com, and ask them to sign up for the email list, too! FUN things are coming up!!



peace from Atlanta, Georgia, USA,


J.A. Etchison
