The sweetest, most down to earth, good people making music just like that. Their roots run deep and sprout the most fragrant flowers.

Jeni Hankins makes quilts. She finds the peculiar value in scraps of fabric and combines them into fabulously beautiful pieces of art. But quilt-making is not just an exercise in self expression. Quilts are functional. Quilts make an empty room homey.

Sweet Song Coming ' Round
NOTES
You have to watch where you sit at a Jeni & Billy concert, because that ordinary-looking folding chair might just turn into the back seat of a big ole Buick hurtling down the switchback of a coal truck road.
That barstool might turn out to be the rock-hard sinners pew of a white-washed mountain church. That couch might be a marble stoop on a gritty street in Baltimore, and that velvet theater cushion could just be …

Ain't Got Time for Trouble Blues
NOTES
Jewell Ridge Coal is the new record from acoustic duo Jeni Hankins and Billy Kemp. Drawing from Traditional Country, Appalachian, Old-time, Country Blues, Bluegrass and Folk music to create their original songs, Jeni & Billy have crafted a unique sound that is truly their own. With their sparse sound and absorbing lyrics, they have caught the attention of Americana greats Jim Lauderdale and Buddy Miller and folk-rock artist Jim Reilley of the New Dylans. Yet one …

If I Ever Get Ten Dollars
NOTES
“Jeni & Billy’s Longing For Heaven plopping on my doormat this morning has given me more joy than I can express, and if I seem hyperbolic it’s because That’s What They Do To You . . . The original tracks, such as the deliriously catchy ‘If I Ever Get Ten Dollars’ and ‘While I Stay At Home And Weep’ (replete with my new favourite word “prayhaps”) blend effortlessly with the traditional numbers (their arrangement of the …

NOTES
Billy and I met in the spring of 2005 while I was recording Jewell Ridge Girl. One of the songs cut for Jewell Ridge Girl, “Back Then,” caught Billy’s attention and he suggested that we consider a songwriting collaboration. We found that writing together came easy for us. We also started playing out together. We were getting a good response from audiences and loved performing as a duo. We wanted a CD for shows, but …

NOTES
Pretty Fair Miss was created for The Great Fabric Exchange.
This year Jeni & Billy are remembering old-time barter days on their tour by trading a three song EP, Pretty Fair Miss, for a piece of fabric. At the end of their tour in November, Jeni will be using the fabric to make a Trip Around the World Quilt at the John C. Campbell Folk School.
