- Release Notes



Singer/songwriter/guitarist Jonatha Brooke has been issuing albums that merge

folk and pop since the early '90s, first as a member of a duo called the

Story and then later as a solo artist. Brooke formed the Story (originally

called Jonatha & Jennifer for their first few years together) along with

another vocalist, Jennifer Kimball, while the pair was both attending

Massachusette's Amherst College in the early '80s. Despite playing locally on

a regular basis during their college career, the duo never issued any demos

or albums and took a break for a period after graduation, during which time

Brooke joined a dance troupe. But by the end of the '80s, the group had

re-formed, now called the Story, and issued a demo called Over Oceans in

1989. The Story was promptly signed to the independent Green Linnet label,

which issued the duo's debut full-length album, Grace in Gravity, in 1991. It

wasn't long before Elektra Records expressed interest in the band, in turn

reissuing their debut the same year, as well as a sophomore effort, The Angel

in the House, two years later.



But by 1994, the Story had split up for good, with Brooke pursuing a solo

career. Despite Kimball not being present anymore, Brooke's solo debut,

1995's Plumb, was credited to Jonatha Brooke & the Story. But Brooke was the

sole creditor beginning with 1997's 10 Cent Wings, which also marked a shift

from her earlier folk-pop to more of a radio-friendly style. This continued

on such further releases as 1999's Live and 2001's Steady Pull, the latter of

which was co-produced by Brooke and renowned studioman Bob Clearmountain (who

has worked with the likes of Bryan Adams, the Rolling Stones, the Corrs, and

Hall & Oates, among countless others). Beginning in the late '90s, Brooke's

albums were issued via her very own record label, Bad Dog; while in 2002,

Brooke performed a pair of songs on Disney's Return to Never Land soundtrack,

contributing an original composition ("I'll Try") and a cover ("The Second

Star to the Right"). In 2004, Brooke performed a set of ten shows at the

Public Theater in New York, the highlights of which were collected for the

2006 release of Live in New York, complete with a DVD of the concert. Careful

What You Wish For followed in 2007.
