New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ King Edward
Music Group) - The European Press glorifies her with headlines like The
Queen of the Night, Golden Throat, The Blues-Pipe, The Voice of the Lord, The Roarer,
Dynamite Stick, and many more. The Lady they are talking about is internationally acclaimed Singer, Songwriter, Producer, and Actress JEAN SHY.
With her latest CD "Blow Top Blues," King Edward Music Recording Artist Jean Shy -2009 BMA Soul Blues Female Artist of the Year Nominee- presents yet another part of her "World of Blues," which is contrary, but definitely not inferior to her last Jean Shy & The Shy Guys CD "The Blues Got Soul," with which she received her nomination.
Blow Top Blues is a brilliant Album compilation ranging from the style of a Dinah Washington, and Tony Bennett, to Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin. Seeing that Shy is also a Songwriter, the CD includes some of her own compositions. The Tracks were recorded with the three main Bands that Jean has been performing with in Europe for many years. The "Friends" on this CD are: Shy's own Band The Shy Guys (Germany), The Climax Band Cologne (Germany), and the JBBO (Jazz Band Ball Orchestra, Poland). Last but not least a few of the Tracks were produced by Michael McGregor for one of Jean Shy's Solo Albums. Altogether it makes up a superb and unique CD that shows off that the "Blues" burns in Jean's veins, no matter what style of the Blues she sings.
A critique once described Jean's performance as follows: Jean Shy has the conciseness of a Tina Turner, the vivid Northern-Soul feeling of a Van Morrison, the expressiveness of an Etta James and she convinces above all with one thing "honesty."
