Jackie de Shannon - Her Own Kind of Light [2008]

Release Date: Apr 28, 20082008 collection of Jackie's own versions of the hit songs she wrote for others. From Folk Rock to uptempo soulfulness, from reflective balladry to Laurel Canyon sophistication, Jackie's songwriting has always merged the immediate with the heartfelt, combining melody and lyrics for maximum effect. Which is why a song like 'When You Walk In The Room' became a standard in the hands of The Searchers, and why Kim Carnes' version of 'Bette Davis Eyes' is still a soundtrack staple. 'Breakaway' became an '80s hit for Tracy Ullman, while 'Come And Stay With Me' was a hit for Marianne Faithful and 'Till You Say You'll Be Mine' became Olivia Newton-John's first single. Jackie's original, inspirational, interpretations of these timeless classics are heard here along with songs that equally deserve such status. With specially-written track-by-track annotation by Jackie, Her Own Kind Of Light really is Jackie DeShannon by Jackie DeShannon. Zonophone.
