Editorial Reviews

Born and raised in Southern Maryland, Janine Davy seemed destined to express herself creatively. She was surrounded by music from the time she was born. Her Peabody-trained father was principle flutist with the United States Air Force Band and performed all over the world. Her mother, who sang like an angel and played piano, taught her children the joy of singing in harmony. Janine progressed to a succession of musical instruments, including the guitar, flute, recorder and piano. It is her singing though, that shows her passion and power. From ballads and folk standards, to sultry blues, to no-holds-barred rock and roll, Janine shows her vocal range and diversity in styling. Janine’s quest for musical perfection was accomplished by employing the much sought after talented gifts of two-time Emmy Award Winners Lenny Williams, a pianist and former member of the Eva Cassidy Band, Steve Steckler, a producer of works for MTV, National Geographic, Discovery and Chris Biondo, a producer, bassist and former member of the Eva Cassidy Band. Janine recruited other members from the Eva Cassidy Band, as well. Keith Grimes, who played bass and guitar, Raice McLeod, who played drums, were also members of her band. She also collaborated with Steven Digman. Steven is a songwriter and has had his songs recorded by the late Eva Cassidy, and Katie Melua, a four-time platinum artist from the UK. Other musicians contributing to the sounds of Janine’s album include Keith Mitchell (Bass); David Speake (Guitar); David Hill (Guitar); Benjie Porecki (Keyboards); Marsha Rubin (Background Vocals); Holly Brandon (Bass & Background Vocals), Janine’s daughter, Anna Davy (Cello & Background Vocals), Janine’s husband, Rich Davy (Guitar) and Janine’s brother, Erich Seehafer (Guitar). Finally, Janine hired Grammy Award winner, Charlie Pilzer to master her album.

Janine's talent shines in "Looking for you". Excellent arrangement and outstanding recording with soul. Audiophile folks will treasure this album (Incredible sound stage and depth). "Looking for you" covers a wide spectrum that only experienced musicians can produce. Every time that I listen to her music, I discover a technique that she has modestly and masterfully performed for her audience. It is obvious throughout the album that the music was created with joy. I am looking forward to more music from her in the near future.

I can't stop listening to this CD - no matter which song I am listening to, it is apparent that Janine Davy has put her exceptional musical talents into making each one come from her soul. It is amazing how she can go from rauchy "Happy Hour" to the meloncholy "Let's Go Out Tonight." Steven Digman has certainly chosen well as Janine Davy to replace Eva Cassidy as the songstress of his words. The former members of Eva Cassidy's band and Janine's family help to make the music come alive. What talent!!

My wife and I were fortunate to hear Janine Davy in a live performance this past weekend in Edenton, N.C. We were truly astounded by her talent. She performed many of the songs on the album, plus many others. We did purchase the album and have already listened to it. This will definitely be one of our favorite CDs to keep and play many times. We are amazed that Janine Davy is not already a house-hold word as a singer and musician. She is truly talented and the CD is top quality in every way.
