Jenny Van West, Happiness to Burn
Label: kgmusic press
Reviewed by:Kim Walter, July 2018

I was also having a hard time with the genre for this, until I heard #4, which was so undeniably country, that it overshadowed everything else. Jenny is known for her crystalline voice and as a singer/songwriter heavily influenced by country music. The songs vary in their country degree, but rest assured, anything you play will be good. Best for me: 3, 4, 6, 7, 8.

1.2:36 - med - toe tapping, sl swingy /jazzy song
2.2:39. - med - country rock
3.*3:55 - slow - gentle tune highlights vocals
4.*2:30 - med - Definite country rock here!
5.3:35 - slow - almost plaintive quality in a country spiritual
6.*3:05 - med - nice, mellow rock
7.*2:59 - med - country rock, lively Kansas City tune
8.*3:29 - slow - singer/songwriter remorseful ballad
9.3:23 -slow -ballad highlights clear vocals
10.3:00 - slow - similar to #9, but …(accidentally erased this part, on CD though)
