Eilen Jewell’s sultry turn on 2011 album Queen Of The Minor Key almost conjures up a smoky roadside bar where she would be queen of the patrons—not just of the minor keys. Jewell channels Loretta Lynn while throwing in dashes of folk, country, and bluegrass to her subtly alluring songs. Her 2007 album, Letters From Sinners And Strangers, and 2009’s Sea Of Tears hint more at backwoods influence than does her more current release, but a heartsick twang is evident in them all. Whether they amble along at a country pace or simmer with the blues, Jewell’s songs draw listeners in and hold them with emotion and eclectic sound.
