S and I were half-watching the televised Prairie Home Companion at Tanglewood on PBS Sunday night, and then The Wailin’ Jennys came on.

<heads jerk toward TV>

I sat transfixed, tears flowing at the beauty of these Canadian angels. S said, “I think I’m in love.”

Acoustic folk with magic harmonies … female voices melt me in general, and the Jennys in particular.

Unfortunately they’re not listed at my favorite online music source, eMusic (see below), but they are available at the iTunes Music Store. I bought both 40 Days and Firecracker on impulse, and now can’t stop listening to either album [link to descriptive Amazon listings].

Update: The Jenny whose voice grabs me most, Annabelle Chvostek, has two solo releases available at eMusic. Enjoying now.

Update 2: Links to lovely video of “Beautiful Dawn” and entire audio track of “One Voice” (and more) available at Jericho Beach Music. (The video shows previous Jenny, Cara Luft, whom I’d never seen — only heard — on 40 Days.

2006-08-16 update: Now both 40 Days and Firecracker are available at eMusic! (Which means higher quality encoding and no DRM.)
