The Wailin' Jennys || The Attic Sessions
Музыка
0:20 "Glory Bound"
5:41 "Wildflowers"
Starting as a happy accident of solo singer/songwriters getting together for a one-time-only performance at a tiny guitar shop, The Wailin’ Jennys have grown over the years into one of today’s most beloved international folk acts. Founding members Ruth Moody and Nicky Mehta along with New York-based Heather Masse continue to create some of the most exciting music on the folk-roots scene. The trio stopped by War Memorial Auditorium’s historic Attic Lounge to play some songs off of their most recent album, “Fifteen”, and discuss everything from bringing their music to the US to keeping folk music relevant in world where pop rules the charts.

I just saw them live a few days ago! Their voices are SO heavenly live! Far more so than their recordings! If y'all have a chance to see them live, I highly recommend it! I love how this video features my father's favorite song they performed (Glory Bound) and mine (Wildflowers)!
Praise the Lord for the gift of music. Keep on wailin'!
after a week in construction in the rain , your voices are sonic morphine thanks🖐️
Here I am a grown man, listening to Wildflowers with tears rolling down my cheeks, listening to what sounds like the voices of angels. The vocals are flawless and the harmonies are sublime.

I gave up music after seconf child was getting a bit older... kinda gettinf back into it.. and crafting! Thanks for your lovely voices and energy!!
Everyone knows their part and doesn’t over play it. The balance is excellent.
This is perfection. Beautiful voices... please make a new album
Every time they hit the three-part harmony, all the hairs on my body stand up. Love the Jennys.

Seriously, the cover of Wildflowers brings tears to my eyes. They make it so mellon collie, but still a happy song. It gets me every damn time!
Sublime. Thank you, Jennies, for your wondrous music.
Beautiful!! Brought tears to my eyes. I love The Wailin' Jennys.
All three of them with their eyes closed much of the time. Truly feeling it.
There’s something indescribable about the magic these musical mistresses create..they fill my soul & remind me of the essence of who I am.

This is an original sound, but based on old, old techniques and harmonies. It's just lovely, powerful without being overbearing.
God I love these musicians. They capture a moment in time when there was less tech and more heart. Perfect!!! 🌟🌟🌟

Love this song. Kudos to Adam in the back playing Mandolin, always making everything sound great from behind.
I just found out about them through my Spotify weekly playlist and i'm just so happy! God, their voices together are heavenly, like, the harmony always takes my breath away, i swear, finding this group made my week. The vibes in every song is just **chef's kiss** amazing. I'm legit in love ❤️
Words cannot express the joy & happiness their music brings to my heart ✨

this is what adding things to your brain feels like. and the brain, as the addage goes, once stretched to accomodate a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions.
I had to pause the video when wildflowers started.... I'm not sure that I'm ready for what I'm about to hear. Have you ever had that feeling of "ohh, i love that thing so much that I wish I could see it again for the first time!" that's where I am. I know this is about to be the first of billlions of times I watch this. let's go
Breathtaking sound, gorgeous vocals/harmonies, and passionate musicianship - heavenly!!!!!! LOVE the W.J.'s!!!

Absolutely brilliant harmonies, song choice, love the Jenny's music! In an intelligent world, all of the homogenized crap that passes for popular music these days would be relegated to obscurity and the world would worship genuine music like this made by real musicians playing real acoustic instruments instead of assembly line Pro Tools "product".
Love these three. Their "Long Time Traveller" is my favorite.

All praise to the Jennys and Cara Luft and Annabelle Chvostek, all wonderful musicians.
These women are worth the whole world. May they walk with Angels 🥰
Wow! I heard One Voice by accident but could not listening to your music and beautiful harmonies. You are amazing! Keep the music going....
What a pleasure to listen to such lovely, soaring voices that take me to a higher level of being!
Omg just discovered them. Amazing!!!!! I'm in love!
Your voices always take me back to The Parting Glass and my Grandpa's funeral. So beautiful to celebrate a life, but so bittersweet and sad...it brings a grown man to tears every time.
The perfect group. Can't keep my ears or eyes away from them.
Good Lord those harmonies are have a special sad magic in them.
The harmony on Wildflowers gives me goosebumps
What a lovely sound
Brillant, pure talent. They should perform in Europe, once this crisis is over. Greetings from Germany.
such an amazing sound. I can't believe I had not heard of these wonderful musicians before. I am a life long fan of country and folk music. heading off to find their albums... BRAVO!!
Absolutely spectacular.
"Hallelujah:" one of the most beautiful and international words ever spoken or sung.
These women are awesome! Feels so good when a song of theirs comes on my Pandora.
Three beautiful ladies making a beautiful sound.
Perfect, that's all my heart can say, loved it all,voices, harmony , Instrumental sound. All of it.
I got autographs from all of them on the poster for the 40th anniversary of a Prairie Home Companion and hung it in my office for years.

We saw them at the Big Top in Bayfield, WI six years ago and they are as good in person as they are in their recordings.
A perfectly soulful performance of a perfect arrangement of a perfect song. Everything and everyone shines...
Thumbs up for these excellent harmonies!
Absolutely beautiful and soothing to hear; such harmony!
Jenny's sound sets my heart free.
I love this band. I have seems them three times. Once in Missoula and twice in Helena, Montana.
I heard Prairie Town on Pandora and fell in love with them......they sing like angels. I also appreciate how talented they are, everything they do is polished and perfect....vocally and instrumentality.
Beautiful
Thank you all for sharing your beautiful voices with the world, you sound like angels, well that’s if angels existed and they had beautiful voices. Take care.
Gorgeous song still. And I love hearing the backstory, how simply and unassumingly they started.
Wow these guys are amazing I really like their songs I've listened to a couple of them and I've liked them all Good job you guys😊
Yes yes and more yes. Love it.
I am new to the Walin' Jennys but I loved their music making. Great harmonies and excellent instrumental playing. I will be listening to more of their music from now on.
That shines!

Please don’t call them girls! They all have had babies and that is no small feat. A girl cannot have babies. Men need to acknowledge their adulthood.

They are engaging. It's too bad commercial country stations aren't open to this kind of thing because it's clear that people would want to hear it. These girls could work steadily on the Gulf Coast circuit. We have a few groups like this.

this really isn't country, it's follk. the song apparently was written by tom petty (of rock and roll but with country roots). His version comes across a lot differently. the jennys pretty much made a major it out of it. and the reference to aiofe o'donovan. when I first heard this interview I did not know who that was. she pronounces it "EEFE" (probably irish) and she is a music act to behold in her own right, also to be found on YT

You guys are amazing! I bought one of your albums and I listened to it more times than I can count. Your music is fun, soothing, meaningful, and inspiring. I don't know if you all believe in God or not, but some of your songs I sing in worship the creator of the universe and whom I believe gave you angelic voices. In my journey in life and my wandering spirit, I really relate to many of your songs. Your music has been a huge blessing to my life. Now I just have to decide which album I am going to buy next. God bless you!
