Singer Magazine - October 2004 Reviews by Greg Tutwiler Former Arista artist Janey Street is no newcomer to the music scene. Her latest indie project, The Street Less Traveled, is "The album I always wanted to record," she said. Her experience as an artist has fueled her passion to become a great songwriter too. Street landed several charting songs during her stint with Arista, Capitol, and Warner/Reprise records. During that time she accumulated numerous live performance memories with big name artists like the Bee Gees, Richie Havens, Melanie, and Janis Ian. Her latest CD is a unique, rockin' blues buffet of funk toe tappin', finger snappin' tunes. Sounding a little like a cross between Janis Joplin and Rickie Lee Jones, Street's new music heats up any CD player. Her well-seasoned, edgy vocals combined with the excellent instrumentation promises her fans yet another hit project from Janey Street. I'm quite fond of the jazzy funked up "Hangin' By A Shoestring." I really like the brassy rhythm undertones. The smoky bar room blues cut, "Mistreated," is a keeper too. And Janey even try's her hand at swing with "Flip Flop Wishy Washy Me," quite nicely I might add.
