Passage (Nectarine)
Released in Europe to coincide with her August/September 2009
tour, Janet’s latest CD has been remixed and remastered for release
in the U.S. Produced by Brooklyn-based 23-year-old whiz kid Adrian
Olsen, Passage is Janet’s most ambitious recording to
date. It’s refreshing, innovative and intoxicating, with Janet’s
voice ringing with honesty throughout the ten songs, each of
which tells a complete story without unnecessary studio gimmickry.

Step
Inside The Dream (Planetary Records) Step Inside The Dream was a critical and commercial
success in The United States and Europe, and is considered Janet’s
first real commercially focused record. A study in pure pop,
it features two special radio mixes of “Move To Town,” a Katrina
and the Waves type rollicking rocker, and “What Can I Believe
In,” a plaintive call for truth. Both songs are spot-on examples
of three-minute perfection—hooks, melodies, strong choruses and
slick instrumental breaks.

Cover (Planetary Records)
In 2005, Janet was being courted by a number of talent scouts
from Nashville’s Music Row. In response, she recorded this 12-song
collection of “hooky” country rockers and ballads at Richmond,
Virginia’s The Sound of Music with John Morand (Cracker) at the
helm. Released on Planetary Records, the CD included two songs,
“Magic Touch” and “Between Love and Hate,” that are still in
rotation on cable radio and satellite radio stations in the U.S.

Just
Wakin’ Up
(Black Diamond)
Janet’s first release, Just Wakin’ Up features her Celtic,
Folk and New Age influences. Her guitar prowess is evident throughout
this six-song limited edition EP, a “one of a kind” collectable.
Friend and master session guitarist Mike McAdam weaves an undulating
guitar rhythm, peaking with a searing solo on “All Roads Lead
to You,” which even today is one of her most requested songs.
Of special note is that this was Janet’s first CD with an all
electric backing band.
