Jeordie exceeds on "Good Luck Sun"

As a child of the emerging context of rock music in the 1960s I name three producers who made a significant impact on my appreciation of such music.

Of course there was George Martin without whom the Beatles may have been a good but unremarkable band. There is Lou Adler who very masterfully mixed and “stereo-ized” the embracing vocals of the Mamas and Papas. And then there was the most impactful producer of my listening experience, Peter Schekeryk. Peter, producing the wonderful sounds of his wife, Melanie, created a range of music, sound, effect, and style that left him without category or equal.

   His lasting influence is evident in his daughter, Jeordie, who brings forth all of those same qualities and attributes in a faithful and natural manner on her latest CD “Good Luck Sun”.

   The most dramatic song on the album is “Feel” which sounds as if it were lifted faithfully out of the late 1960s San Francisco music scene and fused with a contemporary “feel” itself. The vocals, guitar work, and song sound to me very much as if Crosby, Stills, and Nash missed out by a couple of generations on who would have made them the most complete band of the late sixties and early seventies…Jeordie.

Just in time for Christmas, Jeordie provides the very entertaining, uplifting and somewhat humorous “Unwrap You”. With jingle bells, delightful melody and lyric, Jeordie speaks of Christmas as if it were the romantic holiday much superior to Valentines Day. Much fun!

My personal favorite “Everybody Wants What You’ve Got” prompts me to imagine it as a soundtrack for a late night on the desert in Arizona, around a fire, a couple holding each other, slow dancing, looking into each other’s eyes with the comfort of reconciliation as a canopy of stars enviably bear witness.

The whole album is great! It too defies being categorized as it blends rock, soul, blues, and country into a very pleasant sound experience. Each lyric, literate and emotionally consumable, causes the listener to anticipate the next with an eager sense of discovery much like opening a wrapped Christmas gift.

Jeordie, with “Good Luck Sun”, will cause you to “tune in” musically to a contemporary sound that invokes the wondrous talents and skill which preceded her in her mother and father.

Peter, I continue to honor you. Your daughter, Jeordie lives up to, and exceeds your expectations. Be proud!
