"Jenny Owen Youngs: NOT a low rent imitation Liz Phair"
--Ryan (4 out of 5)

Jenny Owen Youngs is a feisty, hyper-sensitive, disease-free singer/songwriter/former girl scout who wants to be your friend. claiming influences from Beck to Jesus Christ Superstar to Britney Spears, her music is an echo of Erin Mckeown hopping into Jeff Buckley's Pontiac, cruising backwoods Alabama red dirt roads and singing along to The Sundays and Nick Drake. Her songs straddle the heart-wrenching and the tongue-in-cheek and say giddyup.

Raised in the lush greenery of northwest New Jersey amongst cows, haystacks, and eastern deciduous forest, our heroine began singing immediately upon exiting the womb. After exploring the flute (elementary school) and the tuba (junior high), Jenny finally stepped up to the guitar at the tender age of fourteen and, as they say, got down to business.

Her current goals include musically causing the hair on your arms to stand up, learning greek, and like fellow jersey boy Jon Bon, seeing a million faces and rocking them all.

Me too! I heard "fuck was I" on Weeds. I'm looking forward to your next album. I bought the ep on i-tunes and it sounds amazing.

I guess I just wanted to say how beautiful your voice is and that I love your style. I recently started listening to you when I heard you for the first time on Weeds, when they used 'Fuck was I" as an outro song. I come from eastern Canada where there is an amazing culture that your music thrives in. Just thought I should let you know.
