Jaki Whitren - Raw But Tender

Possessor of one of the finest voices of her generation, Jaki Whitren was just 19 when she recorded this soulful collection of country-tinged folk-rock in 1973. Featuring members of Matthews Southern Comfort and Fotheringhay, as well as guitar legend Albert Lee.

"With all the recent fuss surrounding Gap model Joss Stone, you could be forgiven for assuming no gutsy female British teen had ever recorded an album before. But at just 18 Jaki Whitren was signed to CBS and made one of the most impressive debuts of the time." – Record Collector

"A superb acoustic folk-rock album with country and blues overtones, ranging from soft and sweet to powerful and angst-ridden." – The Tapestry Of Delights
