Jackie Bristow
Forthcoming Release: Crazy Love
After signing a production deal with Sydney based label Craving Records, Jackie Bristow set about to record her album Crazy Love with mixer/engineer Helik Hadar (Rufus Wainwright, Madelein Peyroux, Joni Mitchell) and producer/engineer Mark Howard (Tom Waits, Lucinda Williams, Marianne Faithfull, Sheryl Crow). With an incredible lineup of musicians including Australia's finest guitarist Mark Punch (Renee Geyer) along with international luminaries Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell), Larry Goldings (James Taylor), Tim Pierce (Rod Stewart, Tom Petty), Jay Bellarose (Aimee Mann), Zak Rae (Alanis Morissette), Darryl Johnson (Rolling Stones) and more, the result has been a tour de force of stunning new material and a fresh new sound.
Jackie Bristow recently secured the support for legendary producer/guitarist/ composer Daniel Lanois on his recent Australian tour of April 2006 and more recently opened for Madeleine Peyroux in her home country New Zealand, January 2007 and has more recently been doing shows in Austin, Nashville, Los Angeles and Seattle.
She has a “penchant for sweet melodies and hypnotic tones. She counts Patty Griffin and Crowded House as favorites, and her style incorporates a bit of both … Bristow’s low soprano is seductive and soulful; she never presses or wails, but instead lets her voice deliver her probing, slice-of-life songs in laced silk.” — Nashville Scene 10/05/07
