Guitarist and vocalist Jana Herzen is back with a great new recording that pares down instrumentation to allow her vocals to shine through. The project is titled Passion of a Lonely Heart. The album has Herzen accompanied solely by bassist Charnett Moffett. The two musicians work well together to deliver a quality production. The song list is a blend of classic tunes and original self-penned compositions. On some tracks, voice is Herzen’s only instrument, while others include her terrific 6-string talents, either resulting in music of refreshing simplicity and wonderful artistry.
