Quote: "Listening to Jennifer Friedman’s You Are Creation might make you swear that somebody has secretly replaced her disc with a Joan Baez CD."
By Dan MacIntosh, www.indie-music.com

Listening to Jennifer Friedman’s You Are Creation might make you swear that somebody has secretly replaced her disc with a Joan Baez CD. This is especially true during “Play The Game,” where Friedman’s singing retains a distinctively Baez-ish vocal purity.

Like Baez, Friedman infuses her mostly folk music with plenty of progressive social lyrical thinking. Whether she’s taking a shot at big business, as she does during “Play The Game,” or bringing attention to spousal abuse, like with “Necessary Evil,” Friedman consistently sings with purpose. Without a doubt, Friedman’s songs are filled to the brim with meaningful content.

Folk is by far the best description of these recorded sounds, because Friedman plays both six-string and twelve-string acoustic guitar throughout. She is only sparsely assisted by backing vocals (Kristen Bolton), drums (Marshall Van Stone), and bass (Aaron Friedman). It’s quiet and thoughtful music, from first to last.

This CD’s booklet also includes explanations of each song, as well as the month and year each one was composed. Friedman signs the CD notes with the words, “Many blessings & thanks for listening,” which affirms emphatically that You Are Creation is a true artistic labor of love.

It takes more than just music to forge an independent music career in this day and age. Front Range singer-songwriter Jennifer Friedman, however, is up to the challenge. Currently based in Longmont, Friedman has made a name for herself in the region by doing the hard work it takes to learn, polish and practice her craft. She has taken workshops with such acoustic luminaries as Vance Gilbert, Maggie Simpson and Catie Curtis, written plenty of original material and has played in select venues in Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins and other cities on a regular basis.
The next step in Friedman’s budding career is her debut CD release, “You Are Creation.” An 11 track collection recorded by Russ Hopkins, “You Are Creation” reveals a mature purposefulness that takes on some heavy subjects such as relationships, physical abuse, war, peace and love. That Friedman’s expressive vocals are up front, underscoring the passion in the words, keeps it intensely personal while the songs themselves keep it accessible. It’s clear that Friedman believes in the power of music to transform and her album ultimately offers strength.

It’s not escaped me that Jennifer’s social consciousness plays a heartfelt leader on her folk-singer style release. Good lyrical intentions and Jennifer’s high-end opera style vocals in songs like Words and Only Child speak truthfully of her tone and deliverance home. The projects overall feeling is one of a great effort and I would be interested in seeing where her next release lands : ) Sweet and kind. I enjoyed the honesty and lyrical banter.
