Boston-based artist Eilen Jewell puts her own beautiful stamp on old country, folk and blues and comes out sounding like the time-traveling, sweet-voiced lovechild of Bessie Smith, Gillian Welch, and The Be Good Tanyas. Her thick, warm voice and authentic country songwriting have led the Boston Herald to name her “Boston’s Americana gem.” Boundary County, inspired in part by her home state of Idaho, is Eilen"s first full-length studio album. Recorded at Middleville Studio in North Reading, Massachusetts by Chris Rival in December, 2005, Boundary County features thirteen original compositions woven together with threads of loneliness, homesickness, regret, sinning, traveling, dreaming, hope, and redemption.
