JANEY KIRK - Dont Colour Me Blue

Moving down the east coast to the Kingdom of Fife, where JANEY KIRK, has been one of Scotland’s top social club acts for many years. But Janey has always been a Country girl, and really got noticed with her last album, “Sweetheart Darlin’ Of Mine”.
She has worked on that success, got herself on tours with the late Billie Jo Spears, and TV appearances on The Phil Mack Show.
Now she’s back with her new album, “Dont Colour Me Blue”, a song she was introduced to, by Billie Jo. The album features a dozen tracks, with a variety from an uptempo “Banks Of The Ohio”  and Emmylou’s “One Of These Days” to the Osmonds’ rockin’ “Down By The Lazy River”.
Janey is also a keen songwriter, and has written six of the songs here, and co-wrote another.
Her own numbers range from the catchy opening number “I’m A Woman”, the rather fun “Fifty Three” and “Foolin’ Good Country”, to  the rather poppy “We Can Still Be Friends”, and the beautiful ballad “Live For Your Love”, which is my favourite track on the album.  I think it’s probably the song that best showcases Janey’s voice.  I also enjoyed “Portrait of You”, which she co-wrote with Karl Rucker. It’s a bit different.
I enjoyed listening to the album, which is available at local HMV stores.
