Jana Hunter was born in Texas, a place that breeds great musicians and writers, but now she lives in Baltimore where people have a lot of tattoos. In my opinion, she's the best contemporary female folk singer working within the indie vein. Right now she seems to be more focused on rock 'n' roll with her band Lower Dens who seem pretty cool from what I've heard. She's actually been in a lot of bands, and I haven't listened to half of them, but what I have heard didn't produce the same wonderful effects of her solo albums Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom (2005) and There's No Home (2007). The guitar work is simple, the songwriting is concise, and the voice is beautiful.
