Search - Jano :: Certain Things

Powerful CD

"There's no warning label on this CD. Maybe there should be: "Contents could be emotionally traumatic to sensitive listeners." In contrast to many of her lyrics, Jano plays a gentle acoustic guitar to accompany these wrenching tales. With a sound similar to Ani DiFranco CERTAIN THINGS is sung with naked emotion. Accompanied only by that deceptively sweet guitar, her music hits emotional depths you might not be expecting.Once the initial shock passed, my admiration for Jano's skill in presenting such emotive material was assuredly increased. Given the passion she can arouse with such negative subjects, her potential with positive ones can only be unlimited. CERTAIN THINGS is definitely a classic."

Rare and Refreshing Talent!

"I've had this in my Collection for a few years now.
Being an Engineer and Producer in the Music Industry, I come across a vast number of Talented Individuals. I heard Stunning Comments and Reviews about Jano from Several Musicians/Songwriters I had worked with in the past. I was indeed skeptical, as it is very Rare that an "Undiscovered" Artist Touches me in a Meaningful Way. Jano's Talent Delivers! Top Notch Guitarwork, Profound Songwriting Skill and an Unforgetable Vocal Intensity. Sweet and Sad, Bitter, Cutting, Angry, Deep, Magical and Ultimately Hopeful. Such is this Artist, "Jano" and her CD, "Certain Things". Not for the wimpy or superficial. Jaded Musicians and Music Fans Rejoice!"
