The following review was written about ONE DAY for the 'Blues in Britain' which is a UK Magazine:
Jean Shy has forged a formidable reputation in Gospel circles, both in the USA and Europe, which is not surprising as this diva possesses a truly magnificent voice that hits you, like a bombshell, on the very first track, 'Elijah Rock', where her brooding and impassioned vocals, permeated with a deep blues feel, are echoed by barrelhousing piano and intense, blues inflected guitar, all riding an hypnotic bass riff.
Although classified as a gospel singer, Shy brings a plethora of influences to her performances, the passionate and dynamic 'Precious Memories' permeated with strong deep soul influences; a vibrant Dixie feel flowing through the spiritual 'Just a Closer Walk With Thee', a stunning performance of barely restrained intensity, replete with dramatic piano, that segues into a wild celebration of Jesus; whilst 'You Got To Move', with it's rolling piano, is gospel with a Jimmy Reed feel, that you find yourself unconsciously swaying to.
'One Day' is a fervent slab of barnstorming, foot stomping old-style gospel that stands in stark contrast to the tender 'How Great Thou Art'; 'Old Rugged Cross' is a gently hypnotic and mesmerizing performance where her faith entices you in before embracing your soul; whilst 'Somebody Bigger Than You And I' is an impassioned gospel/soul ballad that is permeated with and radiates the intensity of her beliefs.
Whether your particular penchant is for gospel, soul or blues, Jean Shy will fulfill all of your musical expectations, and more. Highly recommended? What do you think? www.jeanshy.com)
