Jennifer Lyn — “Live from the Northern Plains — J&R Collective
Jennifer Lyn & the Groove Revival make good old-fashioned rocking blues, fronted by passionate vocals from Lyn, who fearlessly tackles classic covers and writes her own originals in the same spirited style.
Lyn kicks off her latest album, “Live from the Northern Plain,” with her own hard-rocking “Gypsy Soul.” The band is tough and tight behind Lyn’s powerhouse vocals.
Next is a slow-burning electrified version of Chris Smither’s “Love Me Like a Man,” raised to extraordinary popular heights by Bonnie Raitt. The Revival’s keyboard flair and stinging guitar solo add an extra dimension to this flamboyant cover.
The first of two classic Allman Brothers covers follows as Lyn chases the “Midnight Rider” with a soulful vocal turn. The Revival breathes new life as they revive John Fogerty’s “Long As I Can See The Light.” Then more furious southern rock from another brother, Gregg Allman, on “Whipping Post.”
“Going Round In Circles” is another Lyn original, a torchy blues with a scorching vocal turn around a fierce guitar solo. Lyn takes another dramatic vocal on the traditional “House of the Rising Sun” with a tasty organ break.
Two originals close the set: “Low Down Dirty Shame” is another down and dirty rocker; “You Can Take t All” is a soulful, pensive slow rocker.
“Live from the Northern Plains” is a tasty set of blues with a heavy dose of rock —if any music was ever made for the roadhouse, this is it!
