JUDE JOHNSTONE: A Woman’s Work
This is the 7th CD of this singer-composer whose reputation is renowned. Especially two compositions: The Woman Before Me, 1992 #1 hit for Trisha Yearwood and Unchained, which was the title track of the Grammy winning 2nd American Recordings CD of Johnny Cash. However, it would be a shame to not mention the qualitiy of Jude’s interpretive piano played with a delicacy that is used to strengthen the instruments at its side, in particular, the frequent presence of Bop Liepman’s cello. It is not surprising to find that Jude writes songs that go from blues to country to Irish music, and all of which are high quality. It is clear that the vast majority of big stars of American song do not have half the talent of Jude Johnstone! (Jean-Jacques Corrio)
