This is our first contribution to the Jennys e-newsletter; hopefully youll enjoy the future blurbs we send you from time to time. Heres whats been news worthy and what weve got cookin in The Jennys kitchen

The Wailin Jennys were featured on Uncut magazines December Tribute to Neil Young compilation Like A Hurricane. The bands song Old Man (from 40 Days) was in great company with other artists including The Flaming Lips, kd lang, Paul Weller, Cowboy Junkies, and The Be Good Tanyas. You can order archive issues at www.uncut.co.uk

Old Man has been added to the Starbucks in-store playlists in the U.S. Keep in ear out for the song. Were hoping to have more of their catalogue added in the near future!
