My good friend Jack Ray, who hails from Sydney, Australia, had a thing or two to say in response to my song "Southern Lover"!

lyrics

Southern Lover,
No other is quite so fine.
He's smooth as bourbon, fresh as magnolias, and fun as a second line.
My stars, how he shows me such hospitality!
No praline, peach, or pecan pie is half as sweet as he.
I'll bet you, honey, greenback money that I will fall
Every time he speaks my name with that low, lazy drawl.
How I pine for Southern climes, and everything he's got below the Mason-Dixon line...
Southern Lover,
No other is quite so fine!

Well hey there, honey,
I'll take that money that I'm just as fine.
Don't know about "Mason", but Down Under is quite a time!
You'll see stars when the loving's dinky-di
'Cause no candy peach can compete with a good ol' meat pie!
So, my sweet sheila, take a taste of this Aussie love
And you'll be singing praises to the Southern Cross above.
You'll drip in sunshine, toes curled - Down Under is your best time.
So hey there, honey,
I'll take that money that I'm just as fine!

Bad But Good Boys
by Joe Abbott

Featured prominently on my most recent album is the irrepressibly spirited clarinet/sax playing of Joe Abbott. He also writes charming acoustic country songs, which will make you both laugh and cry! Jen Hodge All Stars

Just Like That
by Greg Ruby Six

To my ears, this is the finest album I have played on to date. Greg is spectacular, and the musical chemistry between Jon Doyle and Evan Price is electrifying... in a totally acoustic kind of way! Jen Hodge All Stars

Black Coffee Blues
by Albanie Falletta

I am a ginormous fan of Albanie Falletta's, and you should be too. She's a masterful interpreter of jazz, blues, and ragtime, AND her wise-beyond-her-years songwriting slays me. Check her out!! Jen Hodge All Stars
