The Wailin' Jennys - 40 Days

Sometimes, good things really do come in threes WHERE YOU’LL FIND THEM: Living in harmony. FILE UNDER: Women on the verge. LOWDOWN: Sometimes, good things really do come in threes. Case in point: Singers Cara Luft, Nicky Mehta and Ruth Moody, who make beautiful music together on 40 Days, the winning debut album from their folk-pop outfit The Wailin’ Jennys. Harmonizing with a soothing grace that belies their name, these grievous angels weave gorgeous vocal tapestries that elegantly decorate original cuts of sun-dappled rootspop, blues and Celtic folk. Plus they acquit themselves admirably on candlelit covers of Neil Young’s Old Man and John Hiatt’s Take it Down. Check them out tomorrow at the West End Cultural Centre, before they vanish on the summer folk-festival circuit. ON THE WEB: www.thewailinjennys.com
