Sandy Jayne’s music is somewhere between pop, rock, and country. When I first heard Dangerous Angels, I wasn’t sure if this was country or not, but in my conversations with her, she told me that she is currently trying to reach more of a rock audience. I think she will reach both as her music is produced with some acoustic guitars, slide lead solos, and in some places, very well played rock lead guitar.
Sandy’s voice is heavenly (pardon the pun from her CD title) and she seems to have a range of around 2 1/2 octaves for which blends in perfectly with her music. When I saw Sandy perform live on Saturday, February 9, 2008, I discovered out that she sings as well live as she does on the record, although this was her first gig and she seemed to rush the lyrics a little. That happens to all of us when we are new to the stage.
Listen to her music on Myspace at http://www.myspace.com/sandyjayne or you can purchase her CD from http://www.LongIslandOnlineRadio.com/cds.php. Some of the most intriguing songs on the CD are the title track, Dangerous Angels, Nightwalk, and Where Did We Go Wrong.
The X’s headline gigs and open for some major acts, but what is interesting is that their music is somewhere between Van Halen and Green Day which hooks, power ballads, and rockers that can make some of the original MTV metal hitters look like Madonna.
We met Will Deynes and his lovely wife in Podcamp Boston back in October and he was doing a good job marketing his debut CD Stay to the crowd of 700+ podcasters.
