The European Press glorifies her with headlines like The Queen Of The Night, Golden Throat, The Blues-Pipe, The Voice Of The Lord, The Roarer, Dynamite Stick, and many more. The Lady they are talking about is internationally acclaimed Singer, Songwriter, Producer, and Actress JEAN SHY. With her latest CD Blow Top Blues, Jean Shy -2009 Blues Award Nominee for Soul Blues Female Artist of the Year- presents yet another part of her "World of Blues," which is contrary, but definitely not inferior in Style from her last CD "The Blues Got Soul," by Jean Shy & The Shy Guys, with which Jean received her nomination. Blow Top Blues is a wonderful Album ranging from the Style of Dinah Washington, and Tony Bennett, to Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin. Seeing that Jean is also a Songwriter, the CD includes some of her own compositions. The Tracks were recorded with the three main Bands that Jean has been performing with in Europe for many years. The "Friends" on this CD are: Shy's own Band The Shy Guys (Germany), The Climax Band Cologne (Germany), and the JBBO (Jazz Band Ball Orchestra, Poland). In addition a few Tracks produced by Michael McGregor for one of Jean Shy's Solo Albums. Altogether it makes up a superb, and unique CD that shows off that the "Blues" burns in Jean's veins, no matter what style of the Blues she sings. A critique once described Jean's performance as follows: Jean Shy has the conciseness of a Tina Turner, the vivid Northern-Soul feeling of a Van Morrison, the expressiveness of an Etta James and she convinces above all with one thing "honesty."
