From: Joe Jencks
Dear Friends…
I am pleased to announce the release of my 1st solo CD in nearly 8 years: Poets, Philosophers, Workers & Wanderers
The disc is not yet publicly for sale " but will be very soon! In the mean time, DJs around North America will begin playing the CD starting May 1st. The Disc will be up on CD Baby, iTunes, etc., soon. And for those who were gracious enough to pre-order the CD " it will be in the mail within the next few weeks " as soon as we get them back from the manufacturer. In the meantime:
Tonight - Saturday April 29th, The Midnight Special (Rich Warren, WFMT Chicago), will premier Poets, Philosophers, Workers & Wanderers. Starting at the top of the show and featuring several songs throughout the broadcast, Rich will highlight some of his early favorites from the new CD. For those in the Chicago area, you can listen live starting at 9:00 PM (CT) on 98.7 FM. For those outside the broadcast region, you can tune in via the internet: http://www.wfmt.com/listen/.
"Poets, Philosophers, Workers & Wanderers -is absolutely Joe Jencks' finest effort thus far. Jencks' captivating tenor voice, lofted by flawless production, demonstrates music of conscience and provides a feast for the ear as well as nourishment for the soul."
- Rich Warren, The Midnight Special " WFMT, Chicago, IL
The Midnight Special is also syndicated and rebroadcast on several hundred stations throughout the US and a few in Canada. So… please keep your ears open and radio tuned. A list of stations that carry The Midnight Special can be found at: http://www.midnightspecial.
Songs from Poets, Philosophers, Workers & Wanderers will also be celebrated on Sirius XM " The Village (MarySue Twohy) in the coming weeks, and it will be in the hands of most Folk DJs throughout the US and Canada in the next week. Please call or email your local Folk / Acoustic / Roots or Americana radio hosts and request to hear the CD. Thanks to so many for your patience, support and faith. I can't wait to share the new music!
With arrangements that showcase sparse acoustic textures alongside Copeland-like orchestral tapestries, the new recording is cinematic in its narrative imagery and scope. Featuring largely original songs - Poets, Philosophers, Workers & Wanderers also includes songs by friends Jon Brooks, Kat Eggleston, Jack Hardy, and nearly-lost treasure from the pen of Phil Ochs. Guest artists include: Ysaye Barnwell (Sweet Honey In The Rock), Cathy Fink, Harpeth Rising, Tret Fure, Reggie Harris, Edie Carey, Jon Carroll, Cheryl Prashker, Grace Jencks, Heather Styka, Charlie Pilzer, Charlie Bernhardt, David Glaser, and more.
Some additional reviews are listed below as well as upcoming solo and trio concert dates. Hope to see you soon!
In Gratitude & Song,
-Joe Jencks
"If one can master a craft after investing 10,000 hours, Joe Jencks' hours are showing! I am literally stunned by this new album. Poets, Philosopher, Workers & Wanders tells our stories, his story, and the untold stories, as an American folk master can - with heart and unfettered perfection. Add this one to the folk canon! " - MarySue Twohy " The Village, SIRIUS XM Radio
"Beyond the fine selection of songs and the talented team assembled in the studio, what really shines through on Joe Jencks' new album are his resonant, honey-rich voice, his open-hearted humanity, and his commitment to social justice. We need artists who inspire our better selves more than ever, don't we?" - John Platt , Sunday Supper, WFUV, Bronx, NY
