QUOTES
"It's always a pleasure to hear new music from Jeanette Williams, but this latest batch is outstanding. Whether it's traditional-sounding or contemporary, she's got a great ear for a great song and the voice to really make each one come alive." Jon Weisberger
"If an artist is playing traditional bluegrass or modern contemporary bluegrass it is their ability to combine the two styles perfectly to create an album that older and newer fans alike will love that is going to gain them attention from the industry. Jeannette Williams has just accomplished this feat with her third solo project 'Thank You For Caring'......there is no denying talent when you hear it and this album is full of talent in every aspect of the word." TODAY'S COUNTRY (click to read full review)
“Usually Jeanette‘s vocal style is soft, sweet, and laid back, but in THANK YOU FOR CARING, she comes through with a power and boldness I’d never heard from her before. There are only three genres of music I know: Classical, Bluegrass…and a little bit of Aretha Franklin. Jeanette’s bluegrass rendition of “I WILL SURVIVE” tie the last two together perfectly; one of the most enjoyable cuts I’ve heard in ages! I confess Jeanette has long been my favorite female bluegrass vocalist. It should be apparent to anyone who listens to her latest project why she is!” Joe Wills, Z88-9, New Jersey
