Jann Browne Biography

Jann Browne Biography

Jann's debut album for Curb Records entitled "Tell Me Why" featured world-class accompaniment from guitarists Alber Lee and James Burton, drummer John Molo of Bruce Hornsby and the Range and John Jorgensen of Elton John's band. It's no surprise that Emmylou Harris is a big Jann Browne fan. "There's something about the way she sings that is so pure and honest, and her writing is wonderful." Emmylou backed up her quote to the L.A, Times by singing with Jann on her first CD. The song "Mexican Wind", co written by Jann, became a number one video nationwide and was recorded by a variety of international artists. A shift in musical style led Browne to co-produce her 3rd album, Count Me In, for European label Red Moon Records. Although the album was picked up by a stateside label, Browne spent time touring throughout Europe in support of "Count Me In" and "Four on the Floor" which was recorded Live in Berne, Switzerland. The Los Angeles Times pop critic named "Count Me In" as one of the three favorite albums of the year (along side Johnny Cash and Neil Young). Times critic Mike Boehm placed it first on his list callinig it "Cohesive, sumptuously melodic, emotionally vivid, and insightful." The song "Trouble's Here" caught country singer Lee Ann Womack's ear. It gave Browne and her co-writer and guitarist, Matthew Barnes, their first gold record.
