Artist description
Penny Jo Pullus hails form Upstate New York and while she was visiting for South By SouthWest in the early 1990's, she fell in love with Austin and moved here not long after and recorded a solid disc that showed she had earned her Texas stripes with "Lucky #7" on her own Art Of Balance label. But what she's now up to is decidedly different, combining a roots sounds with the right pop influences to develop a unique style that
apparently has her inspired as well as singing at her best. The influence of producer Ron Flynt formerly of the Los Angeles new wave band 20/20, brings a new pop/rock edge to Pullus's style. Penny Jo skillfully blends country-roots sounds with a rock beat. Her voice is a force to be reckoned with
incorporating the classic country "break" as well as anyone can, along with a guttural burr like a punch to the gut. She
can go from sweet, young girl to strong, powerful woman in "under 60 seconds."

David Chamberlain WRFG FM 89.3 Atlanta Georgia
I've been playing it in the car since I got it. Great band, great voice, lyrics to melt butter... Bottom line: Why ain't this on the radio?
