Just back from a few Band of Horses shows, I happen to get lucky enough to catch the opening act, Jenny and Johnny. My first thought: “If I had a band, it would sound exactly like this.” A perfect combination of acoustic and electric guitar, in flawless harmony. How could that duo possibly go wrong? I’m not talking about the guitars, I’m talking about Jenny Lewis and Jonathan Rice. These two talented musicians have finally joined forces and created a sound that suits them completely. Not too hard…not too soft. It’s just perfect music to my ears. You might recognize Jenny Lewis’ name as she’s been with Rilo Kiley and Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins. Combine Jenny’s voice with Jonathan’s lyrics and you have music that matters; One asks the questions, the other answers.
The two tracks below were the first two songs from their live set and my personal favorites. After the show, I immediately bought their latest CD, “I’m having Fun Now.” I hope you do the same.

Do you write all links to bands wrong on purpose or what? It’s annoying, but the blog is excellent. Just work on that.

Yes John, it’s something we do just to screw with you.
