Bio( cont. from Come 2GoMinistries UA-cam account - Eilen Jewel - If You Catch Me Stealin' )
Theres a lot of styles of music that I love equally, Jewell says, and I come from all of them. For this record, I had a clear sense of a sound I wanted to hear, and somehow I was able to communicate that to the band. Thats rare for meI usually just let the song go but these songs were telling me they had to be done a certain way.
Together for almost four years now, Jewells basic band has been variously augmented on their previous albums, and formed the heart of the American gospel supergroup the Sacred Shakers, who released a self-titled album on Signature Sounds in 2008. Sea of Tears, however, features just the core quartet, a conscious decision on Jewells part to keep the sound lean and, in its darker moments, daringly stark. The absence of fiddle, heard prominently on Letters from Sinners and Strangers, actually widens the bands range allowing them to move seamlessly between genres, even to combine styles more fluidly than previously. To this sound, Jewell responds with nine original songs that boldly stare down rejection, denial, and change.
I had a dream about the title track, she recalls. and when I woke up, I was able to remember my dream and the song wrote itself. I wish I could have more dreams like that Sea of Tears wraps a bitter, confrontational missive in a sinuous, sultry groove punctuated by Millers slashing guitar. In the role of a woman ignored, Jewell doesnt howl she looks the object of her affection straight in the eye and plainly, firmly states that without him, Its gonna be a sea of tears for me / Its gonna be a life of misery. The effect is disarmingly powerful an unadorned but undiminished statement of single-minded devotion.
In contrast to the title tracks seething rhythmic undercurrent, Nowhere in No Time (a song Jewell has been carrying with her for years, but is just now being heard) rides a gently swinging country beat, rendered with the minimalist clarity of a Sun Records country 45. Elsewhere, such as on the swaggering, blues-informed My Final Hour, Jewell introduces a new color the Hammond B-3 which she had never played before. The piano was my first instrument and my first love, she says, but so far normal piano hasnt come up on any of my records! On Sea of Tears, the organ bridges the gap between the Vox-fueled garage rock of the early British invasion and grinding, organ-driven American R&B and soul.
The intensity and urgency felt throughout the record is partly owed to Jewells chosen subjects and partly to the uncluttered, unencumbered recording process. These songs were finished in the brink of time, and mostly delivered to the band on the eve of the sessions, leaving no time for the performances to become rote. Last year I did a lot of hotel writing, coming up with bits and pieces, Jewell says. I think I work well under pressure, and if Im not under pressure I dont work at all! I dont need the pressure of an album to start songs, but I need it to finish them.
The guys are good with picking stuff up right away, and making it sound natural, she continues. This album was recorded pretty much live, with very little post-production. The material was very fresh.
Alongside Jewells own songs, there are three outside numbers that point to much of the inspiration behind Sea of Tears. Im Gonna Dress in Black is a churning lament gleaned from Van Morrisons Them, who recorded it originally in 1965. Loretta Lynns Darkest Day is a classic honky-tonk stomp by one of Jewells biggest influences, whom Jewell was able to open for in 2007. Most intriguingly, however, is a version of the early British rocknroll standard Shakin All Over. Rarely tackled by female singers, Jewells clattering, simmering version is equally sensual and ominous.
This girl stuns me with her beauty, her voice, her authenticy. This is the true Heartbeat of America as it was not too long ago.
Don't you just love her . Praise God for her
An old song originally released about 70 years ago by Porter Wagoner. Her take on the song is not a big departure from the original but to me it is more powerful. I have heard so many versions of the song, I have to say this as good as it gets and to my ear the best one. A fine lead guitarist doing just the right amount to add to the song and not drown it.
70 years ago? Do you have any concept of time?
@@rockinredneck57 Not sure this is the most inaccurate thing on the internet, but go you.
Love this old song and this is a fine fine version. Might just be my favorite version. Don't know what year Porter done it but Jack and Red wrote it in the mid fifties.
@@rockinredneck57 well Jack and Red wrote it in 1955 so how old you reckon it to be.
So many good versions of this song out there and this adds to the list. Love the take and Jerry Miller's subtle accompaniment.
I believe she could make a cactus cry.
I just went back and listened to Johnny Cash's version, and as golden voiced as he was, I have to say Eilen may have made this song even better.
Porter wagoner version is great to . She done it justice
This is talent not the crap they feed America threw the music corporate filter
The best version of this song ever, Eilen is a treasure in american music, very touching interpretation
What can you say...fabulous.
Gorgeous, and Jerry Miller's guitar solo is very special.
Two of bestthequeen of the minor key and the great Jerry Miller
I'm with Ernest Doucette. best version I have heard of this song. Great voice on this young lady.
Amazing performance. Really tight vocals and great guitar work. Tight band.
I just love her voice
This is just perfect !!
Of the many versions of this classic I think this is by some way the best - sparse, unvarnished and beautifully performed.
You go girl...outstanding with a 60 year old song
I love it. This is one of the best covers of a classic.
I love this song. Well done by Ms. Jewel.
Been a fan of hers for so long
❤️ Eilen. I'm thrilled that she will be coming again to our local venue soon.
one of my favs....love this song...
Another gem from this wonderful group. So beautifully performed.
Elian Jewel , What a beautiful voice and a great cover of Jean Shepards song. I really love the way you made it your song.
What a voice!
Surprisiing Good Arrangement of a still-killer song. Thank you for sharing this high quality (in every way) video. Such a treat to watch it again, and again ...
Just love listening to Ms. Jewel sing this one. I like this version the best. I like almost anything she sings. It is like she is not even trying. Such a quality voice.
Thank you for sharing.
Eilen, been following your music and your voice for years. Love if! Thank you!
She has a very good voice !
Love it.....great guitar work.
love it just love it gives me chills
Please play this when I take my final rest.
Such a beautiful cover of this song...the instrumentation and vocals are sweeet :)!
beautiful
Jeff buckleys is my fav version. But I just think it's one of the best songs ever written. I love to hear the totally different takes on it from all
damn.......i got something in my eye.....
Check out Darrell Scott’s version with the Band of Joy
KaBoom ! > I'm in Music Luv with Ms. Jewell !
This song ,"A Satisfied Mind" is a song written by Joe "Red" Hayes and Jack Rhodes, and it has been done by a lot of different artists,beautiful song,and this version is right up there with the best of 'em,Thank you for puttin' it up here
aaron4wilkins. My fave is still Bryan Bowers
Written by the fantastic fiddle player Red Hayes....oh and it's 'Eilen'
Eilen 4 ever
"Eilen Jewell," not Elian. But thanks for posting, great video.
14 years and you still haven’t corrected her name in the title?
Love song. Thanks!!
Great Video . . Great Song . . ( now, if people could just 'spele rite' . . zzzzzzzz )
wow I think I wrote this song ..brilliant
why isn't this song on itunes ????????????????
She's never done a studio version.
Pure
I at least think they should spell her name correctly.
ELIEN - I wonder why that would have been so hard to get right? ;-)
You also got it wrong, it's Eilen.
@@WillyWithAwhY
@@WillyWithAwhY ...Eilen.
Awsome
Beats Porter's version, IMHO. The next Emmy Lou this girl.
Wow...
I prefer this over Darrell Scotts and Jeff Buckleys. I think this is less attitude with more focus on the lyrics.
Have you heard Marty Stuart cover it?
holy smokes....did I say....Holy Smokes
You might want to spell her name right.
Elian Jewel??? I think you mean Eilen Jewell. You know, the way it's spelled to the left of Jerry's leg.
Elian??
how can I download a video or song?
you spelled her name wrong.
Damn beer taste good..
you noticed that too?
3 notes and I was out
It's actually one rich man in a million
And this man is probably dead
Eh. Good effort. Missing them rich, rich harmonies.
You should really make more of an effort to spell her name correctly, especially when it's right in front of you. 🙄
The local guy with the fancy car (a long time real estate agent or something). He is always tan as if he had it done in a shop. Conversation with this man ?! No conversation. This man is as boring a the day is long.
Porter Wagoners version is better
Zzzzzzz
horrible song, vocals are terrible and everything else follows suite..
+MEGA BYTE - gostar ou não de determinado gênero musical, ou de alguma música é algo natural, faz parte das preferências pessoais e eu respeito, entretanto qualificar essa música como horrível, desqualificando inclusive o trabalho de um extraordinário guitarrista soa fora de propósito.
Maybe stick with Justin Beaver or Miley Cactus for real 'quality'..... 😂
MEGA BYTE unplug your ears. you are the biggest twat in twentytwenty! 😂
