Letters From Sinners and Strangers, the first national release from Eilen Jewell, will be available on July 17th.

FAME magazine has posted the first review of Eilen's new album . Check it out here. Among the highlights:

Sounding like a hand picked playlist from Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour, Letters From Sinners & Strangers, Jewell's national debut, is a rousing and confident tour de force.

Reviews from SXSW are in...

Boston-based Eilen Jewell's debut CD, "Boundary County," is an indie release that made waves beyond the East Coast folk scene. As good as the disc is, the live show at the 3rd Coast Music Magazine party at Opal Divine's Penn Field on Thursday was better because Jewell showed she can deliver excellent up-tempo tunes as well as stunning ballads.--San Antonio Express-News

Eilen Jewell & Band @ Mother Egan’s: Quite another SXSW best moment. A lush and lilting songbird of a lady with a country noir flavoured backing (Gretch guitar/stand up Bass). Her voice would melt a hundred Texas hearts. Had touches of Jolie Holland/Lucinda Williams too.--Jumpin Hot Club (UK)

Best of Show: Eilen Jewell—I could have listened to her sing all weekend. --Joe Pareres, Third Coast Music Network, KSYM, San Antonio

END OF YEAR FUN

Eilen had a nice plug in the Boston Globe today. Here is part of it: "...Jewell’s songs are achingly good, twanged-out elegies to a world of barbed wire, rusty trucks, and a frontier that no longer exists...." Read the whole thing here.

NPR.org listed Boundary County among its various Best of 2006 courtesy of WFUV's Vin Scelsa Go here to see it.
