Details:
"I fell into one of her low alto tones and never came up for air. As if her lustrous singing wasn''t reason enough to mail her Valentines, the melody, production and rhythms are simply divine." ~ Robert Oermann, Music Row Magazine review
ABOUT THE ALBUM:
"Hometown Beauty Queen" is a blend of country, folk, and pop. All songs written by Jo Anne Kurman and her co-writers Barbara Borax, Sandy Sherman and Craig Lackey. Jo Anne and Sandy Sherman uplift us with “Wind In My Sails,” a song about never giving up on yourself. The songwriting team also penned “Long White Gown,” a song written about the legendary female ghost who haunts the Palos Verdes, California, Point Vicente Lighthouse: “Some folks say they’ve seen her there.”
In the title track, “Hometown Beauty Queen,” Jo Anne sings about her experience as a teenage beauty queen and how it felt for an insecure eighteen year old to have her body judged by a panel of middle aged men, all the while smiling big. Fun, whimsical "Only Heaven Knows" and the sexy blues song "Guitar Woman" will get you swaying to the music.
Jo Anne’s debut album is a lifetime in coming and well worth the wait. You can also find her CD, “500 Miles”, a folk tribute album with beloved songs from the 60s and 70s, and her just released country CD,"Countrified", also posted on https://www.tradebit.com.
