Got to hear this lovely voiced lady at the Wahoo Festival
in Nebraska.  She gave me two of her CD releases, and they are both
pretty good.  I am going to concentrate on the Gospel one because the
second one is done with a meter-maker drum set with pretty much the same
sounding meter and beat throughout the album, although the singing and
original song writing are exceptional.  The song writing on “God’s
Inspiration” is excellent.  It is also done as a duet with Ron Dubuy who
has I believe a Gibson guitar that sounds like an older Kay style, so
lacking in today’s music, and sounding so good as a rhythm guitar.  His
guitar is pronounced in this session as well, and compliments Janet’s
voice very well.  I believe the order of doing the sessions was “F Is
For Fun” was done in 2011 and “God’s Inspiration” was done in 2009, so
we are seeing some very nice improvement throughout all that Janet is
doing.  If I was mixing either of these sessions I believe I would bring
her voice out just a little more to the middle-front, so we can
adequately hear every word she is singing.  There is some female harmony
singing, but the insert does not tell us who this is, or who is doing
the male harmony.  Janet is an extra good writer, so even those with
excellent hearing might have difficulty ‘hearing’ every word she is
writing-singing. These recordings are also what you would hear when this
duet performs ‘live,’ which they do that quite well. The audience at
Wahoo really liked what they were doing.  I like what they are doing as
well, and will submit “God’s Inspiration” to the Rural Roots Music
Commission to see what they think.  Good going Janet and Ron, keep up
the good work.
