Catch lightning in a bottle once you're lucky. Catch it twice and magic comes into play. The Wailin' Jennys new album is a case in point Catch lightning in a bottle once you're lucky. Catch it twice and magic comes into play. The Wailin' Jennys new album is a case in point. Original singer Cara Luft left after the band's first release. Disaster? Hardly. Local gal about town Annabelle Chvostek stepped in and the harmony trio didn't miss a beat. Their new release is a wonder of three-part harmonies, musicianship and songcraft. Chvostek, Nicky Mehta and Ruth Moody all contribute tunes that mesh seamlessly with the lone traditional number, “Long Time Traveler”. In full vocal flight, the Jennys fall into formation like geese on the wing, effortlessly, intuitively. It's a thing of beauty.
