Jenny Owen Youngs

Jenny Owen Youngs, singer/songwriter and natural history enthusiast, grew up in the woods of New Jersey and currently lives in Brooklyn, NY. After self-releasing her first album Batten the Hatches in 2005, Youngs signed with Nettwerk Records, and went on to release two albums and three EPs through the Canadian indie label. She has toured extensively through the US, UK, and mainland Europe, both as headliner and support to artists such as Regina Spektor, Motion City Soundtrack, Aimee Mann, Kevin Devine, and Amanda Palmer. Her songs have been heard on Weeds, Nurse Jackie, Privileged, Life Unexpected, and in Victoria's Secret stores the world over.
Her spirit animals are Johnny Cash, Kate Bush, Tom Waits and Jack White.

For someone so young she has impeccable taste in spirit animals.
Jenny Owen Youngs is also an impressive songwriter not to mention she boasts great vocal prowess. To hear her is to love her.
Did I mention she has this great new album, An Unwavering Band of Light?

I just love this song it was featured in Weeds and is also available on the Weeds: Music from the Original Series, Vol. 2 album. I feel this could have been written for Nancy Botwin.
