"The
Jennifer Jennings Band is as good or better than anything coming out of
Nashville."
Mike O'Cull -
staff writer for Illinois Entertainer, IllinoisBlues.com and ChicagoMusicGuide.com.
The Jennifer Jennings Band is one of the hottest and most promising modern
country bands in Chicago. Yes, that’s right, country from Chicago. The Windy
City, while being known as the Home Of The Blues, also has a long tradition of
country music, which at times gets overlooked. Jennifer Jennings and her band
represent the newer style of pop and rock-influenced country, drawing their
inspiration as much from songwriters like Tom Petty and Sheryl Crow as from
anything coming out of Nashville. The result is music that combines the
story-telling type of songwriting of Americana with a sound based in the
classic rock that we all love that seems fresh, new, and familiar at the same
time. The band’s debut CD All The Pieces
gives ample evidence of the success of this musical pairing and Jennifer and
company are eager to spread their word across the Midwest.
We've gotta problem
You know the game
I've got an answer
To end this endless pain
You look confused now
And a bit concerned
But I cannot teach you
What you cannot learn
Chorus:
If you need a shoulder
Don't cry on me
Cuz you ain't gonna get
my sympathy
Oh no ooo ooo ooo
It's a new day now
And you're on strike 3
You think that you don't
need me
Just you wait and see
Maybe think it over
Try and think it through
But I won't be cryin'
When I say goodbye to you
Chorus:
Bridge:
We tried to change things
And work it out
But you can't fix a
broken heart
Man you think you're
special
Yeah, I thought that too
But now I can see that
I'm better without you
You just keep on walkin'
Don't you turn around
Cuz I ain't gonna be here
Waiting for you now

The Jennifer Jennings Band has been described as Sheryl Crow meets the Allman Brothers.
This song "History's Daughter" by The
Jennifer Jennings Band was inspired by the book "History's Daughter" by Maire
MacSwiney Brugha, who was the daughter of Terence MacSwiney, the Irish
revolutionary, who in 1920, died in a British prison after a 73 day hunger
strike. His sacrifice caught the attention of the world, and in 1921, Ireland
(at least the South) attained its independence.
She
was only 14 years when she
Learned the fate of her father
In a
letter he told her why
Now
she's known as History's Daughter
Chorus:
He
gave it all for what he loved
With
the strength he found from God above
Who
could believe he would change the world
For
his country, for his little girl
She
was only 20 years when she
Realized his grace
No
freedom can be won
Without his sacrifice
Chorus:
He
gave it all for what he loved
With
the strength he found from God above
Who
could believe he would change the world
For
his country, for his little girl
Bridge:
From
the life of one brave man
Changed the course of Ireland
86 and looking back
At
the legacy of her father
From
the history of this great man
Came
the life of one great daughter
Chorus:
He
gave it all for what he loved
With
the strength he found from God above
Who
could believe he would change the world
For
his country, for his little girl
Bridge:
From
the life of one brave man
Changed the course of Ireland
Chorus:
He
gave it all for what he loved
With
the strength he found from God above
Who
could believe he would change the world
For
his country, for his little girl

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
