Jenny Lewis is one of the most celebrated and respected performers of her generation. From her start as the dynamic frontwoman of influential LA group Rilo Kiley in 1998, Lewis has steadily developed her own vocal style, drawing from the sly country twang of Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, and Patsy Cline, while remaining indebted to pop music. In between recording and touring with Rilo Kiley, Lewis contributed vocals to The Postal Services debut album Give Up (2003) and toured as a multi-instrumentalist with the band. She then released two critically acclaimed solo albums, Rabbit Fur Coat (2006), and Acid Tongue (2008), establishing herself beyond the confines of indie-rock into more timeless territory. Joe Levy, editor of Rolling Stone remarked that "Jenny Lewis is the best songwriter working today." Lewis has collaborated with Elvis Costello, Ryan Adams, and M. Ward, among others, and formed the duo Jenny and Johnny with songwriter Johnathan Rice. They released their debut album, I'm Having Fun Now (2010), in addition to contributing original music to the musical/drama, Song One, starring Anne Hathaway. Lewis made her debut as a film composer and music supervisor for the drama Very Good Girls starring Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen. Her critically acclaimed third solo album was released on Warner Bros. Records on July 29, 2014 and debuted at #9 on the Billboard Top 200 and #1 on the Vinyl Albums chart.
"Lewis' vocals were tracked in Capitol Records Studio B, the room christened by Ol' Blue Eyes in 1956 when he gesticulated at the sessions for (Frank Sinatra Conducts) Tone Poems Of Color, her piano chords fingered on the same keys that voiced Carole King's Tapestry. The music indeed feels touched by King's white-girl Laurel Canyon soul, but maybe more by Harry Nilsson's tender, hooky wit. Lewis channels Brian Wilson's sun-kissed doo-wop on the title track with a sly pun on letter-sweaters and a winking reference, perhaps, to 'Caroline No' (here 'Caroline, uh'). Elliott Smith gets namechecked on 'Heads Gonna Roll,' the Go-Go's perky new wave shines from 'Rabbit Hole,' Fleetwood Mac's heady harmony-builds bloom on 'Red Bull and Hennessy.'" - Rolling Stone, The 50 Best Albums of 2019 So Far, June 2019
"Neil Leifer's iconic shot of the triumphant Muhammed Ali lording it over Sonny Liston personifies boxing superfan Jenny Lewis' On the Line as her very own declaration of independence: making peace with her roots while casting an artful wink at the angels and demons cheering her on in the corner." - NPR, Best Albums Of 2019 So Far
