‘The band accomplishes a lot with a little…
A nice change of pace from three gifted and imaginative musicians. Rest your weary ears upon the in
tricate and often jazzy acoustic guitar play. The band has crafted interesting lyrics to compliment the creative music within. This CD is a welcome relief to the usual electric guitar barrages we have been so used to. Give a listen to this collection of well crafted original tunes. It’s no easy task pulling well done songs out of th…in air.’

A SOUP found it’s way to Canada! Thank you to Earshot magazine and Steve Marlow for this review…
Some wonderfully inventive things can happen when a distinctly American style of music is interpreted by non-Americans. In this case, it’s classic blues and country. Jenny Wren and Her Borrowed Wings hail from the UK and they bring a UK folk mindset to traditional American blues, folk and country. Whereas classic blues tends to be dour and a bit depressing, Jenny Wren brings a whimsy to the country blues sound of the American past. And American country tends to be about sorrow and heartache, Wren‘s take on country is more playful and uplifting. The subject matter takes on a bit of a British tint too, with blues and country songs about sailors and creeping vines.With just two guitars, plus Jenny‘s vocals and her own upright bass, the music is minimalist but the listener rarely feels like they’re missing anything. There’s even a bit of an old-time jazz swing feel to a number of these songs. A Soup is just their second album, and it’s a satisfying and mature album overall.

Here’s the English translation…
JENNY WREN AND HER BORROWED WINGS
A SOUP
Real Roots Cafe, NL 25/12/2016
A particular slice of London, UK. Jenny Wren (Jenny Trillsbach) plays upright bass and sings with a bluesy, sexy voice. The Borrowed Wings are Ben Gallon (acoustic guitar, vocals) and Ben Fisher (resophonic guitar, vocals). Jenny Wren and her Ben had been a nice name for the group. ‘A soup “is the second CD of Wren and her Bens after’ Dead man’s hat ‘from 2014. All songs are originals, three of Jenny, five gallon and four Fisher. The thirteenth song jointly written. I had my first listens, think of Eilen Jewell, the atmosphere is similar. But Wren and her boys embrace more (rhythm and) blues. And succeed wonderfully in order to come across pleasant. Especially the vocals of Jenny and Fisher guitar making its taste and pleasurable.
A surprisingly nice group, a surprisingly fun CD. For lovers of light rough female voices and tasty rhythm ‘n blues. (Creature Records)
