Jenny Scheinman ‘The Littlest Prisoner’ Album Review

Back in 2014 the jazz violinist Jenny Scheinman released yet one more album of genre-hopping vocal brilliance.

Few bluesmen had the force of personality and raw talent, the myth-like presence and long-ranging influence of Howlin’ Wolf.

This young man’s debut album was a marvel, destined to make a great impact on both electronica and the world of music at large.

Cinematic, sexy, eerie and soulful, Reverie was a revelation to fans of Joe Henry, old and new alike.

Toronto journalist and musician Jeff Halperin offers his take on the sublime and graceful command of the blues guitar legend.

A deep dive by musician/writer Naomi Kavka into the familiar and the unfamiliar tracks throughout the seven (yes, 7!) decades of surf rock.
