An eclectic mix for any mood, with catchy country ballads, upbeat feel good songs and full throttle western-swing. For music fans who like relatable storytelling performed with uninhibited honesty.
Nashville recording artist Jess Owen's unique voice has been described as 'warm honey'. A smooth, rich sound, with an unusually wide vocal range, which lends itself well to honest storytelling. An impressed Comstock Records of Arizona invited Jess Owen to record in Nashville with their top producer, Patty Parker. Parker chose Jim Williamson, who’s worked with greats such as Don Williams, Kris Kristofferson, Merle Haggard, Crystal Gayle and Tex Ritter to engineer the project. Owen's single ‘Cassie’ has been in Nashville's Top Picks of the Week, while his follow up, ‘By Your Side’ (R.Schrum) entered the Top 100 American charts. ‘Lord Help Me Over This Mountain’ (J.McKee) hit the number one spot in Europe’s Country Charts.
Recorded in 1991 and released again globally 2024.
