A talent to be reckoned with! --Ricky Flake--South Mississippi Sun Herald. 2006

Product Description

City Canyons Records, an independent label based in New York City, proudly announces the release of Jen Elliott and Bluestruck's long awaited full length sophomore album, 8 DAYS DOWN. 8 DAYS DOWN is a soulful album with roots firmly grounded in the best rock traditions but seasoned by a sometimes edgy, very contemporary alternative sound and a spicy spoonful of wicked gospel and funk. Jen brings it all home with a powerful alto voice, hip phrasing, and a seductive energy, ably supported by her remarkable backing band, Bluestruck. Jen was raised on church music as a child and she still writes and sings straight from her soul--but now, it's rock 'n' roll that is her first love. Born in Texas and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, she now calls New York City her home. In 2003,she had the opportunity to sign with City Canyons Records. A few short months later, the label released her debut album THE SECRET'S OUT. The album received Top 30 college radio airplay and critical acclaim by the press nationally and internationally. Jen has been featured in issues of Entertainment Today, The Downtown Express, The Sun Herald, Inside Connection and Keyboard Magazine. To date, the band has performed at the Black Potatoe Festival 2005, NY Auto Show 2005, GoGirls Elite Showcase 2004, headlined at the Global Entertainment & Media Summits 2003/2004, and performed at MEANY Fest 2003...as well as performing at venues in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut. Pennsylvania, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Florida. Jen and Bluestruck have also opened for the likes of Nils Lofgren, The Little River Band, and Nine Days.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jen Elliott rocks!, January 22, 2007

I absolutely love this album. "Try to Forget" is my favorite track, with "8 Days Down" running a close second. Catchy melodic hooks and a more mature sound compared with her last album. "Stand" is a strong, anthemic track. Buy this album!

I've heard Jen and Bluestruck play live in New York and I'm been pretty impressed with how they translate to audio. There are lots of ups and downs, so this is is a great disk to listen to front to back. Captivity and Stand are my standout favorites! Brava!
