Summary: Simply beautiful and melodious......
Comment: If you've ever wondered what the angels sound like when they sing as a chorus (or as a trio, in this case), The Wailin' Jennys are for you. This gorgeous 2004 release features the blended voices of Cara Luft, Nicky Mehta and Ruth Moody. Their sound is at once ethereal and blissful. The album kicks off with "One Voice," a beautiful piece that showcases their three part harmony at its best. "Saucy Sailor" is part sea chanty and part folk melody. Their subject matter ranges from love to pondering the afterlife. This album veers so far from mainstream subjects and mundane melodies, so often heard on the radio. It is a breath of fresh air and we are so blessed to hear such beauty.

Summary: great listen!
Comment: My husband & I fell in love with the Wailin' Jennys when we first saw them in concert in November. I got this CD for my husband for Christmas and we just can't stop listening to it. Their harmonies are amazing, and their song writing superb. I highly, highly recommend this disc.

Summary: Beautiful!
Comment: This is a worthwhile download for any fan of perfect harmony, great melodies, and intelligent lyrics. Very similar to The Be Good Tanyas, if that helps. Standouts here are "Saucy Sailor" (made "famous" for me by Steeleye Span) and Neil Young's "Old Man."
A beautifully made album. Highly recommended.

Summary: Can't stop listening to this CD!
Comment: We were first introduced to the Wailin' Jennys on A Prairie Home Companion last year and found their songs and their sound to be so memorable that we purchased tickets to see them in concert locally this past May. We have since purchased both the 40 Days and Firecracker CDs, and just can't recommend them enough. Incredible harmonies in beautifully written, inspiring, timeless songs.

Summary: Record of the Year
Comment: If you've not heard this album, you're missing a masterpiece. The harmony is stunning, the song selection fabulous, the arrangements are subtle,tasteful and appropriately understated, and the overall production a huge success. It's my best find from last year and one of my all time favorites albums ever.

Editorial Reviews:

The Wailin' Jennys--Cara Luft, Nicky Mehta, and Ruth Moody--are three Canadian singer-songwriters with already established careers who first got together for a one-shot gig in 2002 and, to their surprise, discovered that their voices blended in an almost magical harmony. They decided to put their solo endeavors aside for a while to see where this gift would take them, and the appealing folk-pop vibe of 40 Days is the result. They perform an eclectic selection of material, including covers of John Hiatt's "Take It Down" and Neil Young's "Old Man" plus lovely versions of the old English folk songs "The Parting Glass" and "Saucy Sailor." However, it's the original songs that stand out most. As you would expect, each Jenny has a distinctive voice and writing style, but the amazing vocal harmonies help Luft's spiky, rock-inflected songs, Mehta's poetic and mysterious meditations, and Moody's lively Celtic-tinged melodies blend into a seamless whole. --Michael John Simmons
