Boston-based singer-songwriter Eilen Jewell is back, overcoming a crippling bout of writers block to produce her compelling new album Queen of the Minor Key. Backed by her longtime touring band, Jewell and gang turn out 14 dark, haunting stories layered in a distinct indie brand of country folk and blues. At the center of the impressive guitar, pedal steel, drums and upright bass instrumentation is Jewell’s mesmerizing voice, which is sweet with smoky undertones. Queen of the Minor Key is a definite must-listen. – Written by JFelton
