   About Jennifer O'Connor
BUY ALL THE RECORDS ON: Jennifer O'Connor

"...tidy and infectious songs." -The New York Times

" Some people may have found her near-perfect 2006 album, “Over the Mountain, Across the Valley and Back to the Stars” (Matador), because of its guest stars—James McNew, of Yo La Tengo, and Britt Daniel, of Spoon. O’Connor would be just fine without them." --- The New Yorker

"...one of the best records of the year." -The Village Voice

"...more rewarding with each listen." -Harp Magazine

"OConnor beautifully mines the tough terrain created by the twin demons of love and death." Out Magazine

"Sure, it might sound like a no-brainer, but there's a fine art to being plainspoken and eschewing metaphor and florid prose while still having something meaningful and original to say&ldots;. Otherwise you end up sounding like REO Speedwagon. I'll opt for Jennifer O'Connor instead. This New York indie folk rocker has made herself the envy of nearly every other confessional singer-songwriter out there, thanks to the genuinely affecting ruminations on love and loss of last year's Over the Mountain, Across the Valley, and Back to the Stars (Matador). Offering an invitingly elemental production that focuses on the bumps and bruises of O'Connor's slightly world-weary voice, the album is riveting in its quietly devastating candor." San Francisco Bay Guardian

it's been way too long since i've seen
you play (i think maxwell's back in
november was the last time) so i am
kind of excited for the bowery dates.

we play jamie lidel's cd where
i work, so the show as a whole
should be a good time. can't wait

Hey Jennifer,

Sounds like we have a good song here ! I wish you all the best and hope all your dreams come true...

i really like valley road. when it comes to me and the kind of music i listen to, i generally steer towards the more quiet stuff because i am sometimes a quiet person that likes to space out, and that song definitely goes up my alley.
i hope to hear more soon
