Jodi Jett is the "Female Lou Reed"

"Unique and intelligent...I haven't heard anything like it in a long time."

That's what grammy-winning producer Eliot Scheiner (Eagles, Lou Reed, Faith Hill) says about Revelations, the first full length album by Jodi Jett-recovering Kansas-bred tongue talking Pentecostal.

According to Chuck Eddy (Village Voice), Jett's song '80s Girl "Should be a hit."

She also explores shallow-minded love affairs initiated on Brooklyn's "Bedford Avenue," and mating rituals of "Greasy" sleezeballs. Religious fanaticism (hear "Jesus Can") and midwestern upbringing inspire "No Place Like Home" and "Nemesis" while "Instead" describes the canyon between that which one desires and that which one often receives when it comes to love.

Jett's approach to her music has been described as "sultry...with a punk attitude" and has been compared to the stylings of other storytellers like Liz Phair and Mazzy Star and to rockers like Chrissie Hynde, P J Harvey and Blondie.

Album co-producer, Phil Palazzolo (Neko Case, New Pornographers, Bogmen), describes Jett's music as having "come from that elusive crossroads where naivete and sophistication stop to have a quick drink together. Those contrasts and conflicts make Revelations a layered record that reveals itself slowly with a big payoff."

Joining Jett on Revelations are guitarists Peter Mavrogeorgis (Bellmer Dolls), John Nugent (Chop) and Matt Rocker, drummers David Berger (Erin McKeown) and Angela Webster (Rhett Miller), bassist Byron Isaacs (Joan Baez) and cellist Jane Scarpantoni (Norah Jones).
