I recently purchased the So Like Joy CD, and have been listening to it constantly. Every song is masterfully and powerfully performed by the artist Jonell Mosser. She is tremendously talented and this CD clearly showcases the range and depth of her skill. She sings movingly and from the heart. She is at once earthy and spontaneously soulful. I love each of the songs, but I am particulary drawn to the title track, Ordinary Splendour, and You know Who You Are. Jonell Mosser has a lot of class and quite a bit of soul. You are reminded of Phoebe Snow, Janis Joplin, and Tracy Chapman. What an exciting talent this woman has! You won't be sorry you purchased this CD, so do so immediately!

This album delivers an unparalledled performance from charismatic Nashville based Jonell Mosser. A compelling portfolio exhibiting Jonell's abilities in Country, Rock, R&B - and don't forget SOUL!

Her soaring, energetic and powerful voice, combined with dynamic guitar and drum beat - drive your hands together and bring you to your feet!

"Do you Love Me" reminds me of Joni Mitchell. Title cut - "So like Joy," is a wonderful piece that brought tears to my eyes. "Parasite' - will get beneath your skin," and "ordinary Splendor," a duality of reality.

If you enjoy Janis Joplin, Aretha Franklin and richly textured songs that are sung right from the soul - you need to get this album.

Jonell Mosser is as good as it gets - passion, heartfelt soul, range, strength, rythm, beauty - her voice has it all - and the lyrics to her music will move you, cheer you, and make you want to sing along out loud - Put Bonnie Raitt, Shawn Colvin and Aretha Franklin in the same body and you have Jonell Mosser - If I could only own one CD - it would be hers!

Not only does Jonell possess one of the most incredible voices on the planet, she also brings an intelligence and art to her music that I have never witnessed. I was fortunate enough to hear/see her perform recently in Dallas. Wow! I was weak all over. Awesome!
