Jenny Yates has established herself as a successful songwriter, with songs recorded by numerous artists, culminating in her collaborations with Garth Brooks, co-writing many of his hits including "Standing Outside the Fire". Performing since the age of 14 in her hometown of Phoenix, Arizona - Jenny has been making music all her life. First as a singer of other peoples songs, then as a writer. She signed with her first music publisher, the legendary Al Gallico in her mid-20's, who then secured her a recording contract with Mercury/PolyGram Records, which led to critical acclaim and two Billboard charting singles, but not enough to warrant the release of a complete album. In the ensuing years, without the support of a record label or music publisher, she made repeated trips driving across country from LA to Nashville for a month at a time. Living off her credit cards and the kindness of friends with couches, she continued her education in song writing - working with many of the best writers in the music business, some whose songs she'd been singing every night. The Nashville song writing work ethic, being Monday thru Friday, 9 - 5:00, instilled in her the discipline which enabled her to pursue her life-long love of song writing. She became a song smith. Setting out to create her own Country-Folk sound, and working with some of the world's finest musicians, singers and engineers, "Out Of The Blue" was recorded in Nashville and Los Angeles, and has been compared to the work of Emmylou Harris, Karla Bonoff, Mary Chapin Carpenter and early Linda Ronstadt. A collection of 14 songs spanning the genres of Country, Folk, Americana, Blues and Adult-Contemporary.
