Jessie Lee Miller

Produced by Sean Mencher of High Noon fame, Jessie Lee Miller’s debut album features a talented lineup of musicians, including Tom Umberger (Kim Lenz, The Racketeers, The Stumbleweeds, Gina Lee and the Brisket Boys) on guitar, Cindy Cashdollar (Asleep At The Wheel, Leon Redbone) on steel, Paul Ward on drums (Cave Catt Sammy), Ryan Gould on bass, and Basil McJagger (the Dreailers) on piano and accordion, as well as the Two Timin’ Three on one track.
The album includes eight original songs and two previously performed by High Noon. The opening track, “Now You’re Gonna be Loved,” has a western swing rhythm, featuring guest guitarist Olivier Giraud (81/2 Souvenirs, Paris 49), who provides a fine chorus in a tremendous gypsy jazz style. Another standout track, “Not For Nothing,” is rearranged with an accordion and showcases Jessie’s falsetto. Jessie Lee Miller wrote three songs that demonstrate her versatility songs: “Pennies On The Railroad Track,” is a Honky Tonk ala Patsy Cline that suits her bass voice very well; “Cryin Alone” is a jazzy ballad with a muted trumpet, and “It’s A Lonely World” an uptempo tune.
Tom Umberger also contributed three songs to the album. If you liked the songs he wrote for the first Stumbleweeds album, you’ll love the three he penned for Jessie Lee, especially “Honey, Honey” and its Honky Tonk piano part.
Additionally, the album features songs from Cindy Walker, Roger Miller, and Jimmy Davis.

Goofin Records also released this album with one additional track.
