Artists:Mother Jane
From WWR

Mother Jane began as a trio back in 1998, Beth Burden’s vision initially. A self-taught singer/songwriter/guitarist, Burden was raised in a musical family in small-town Paris, Kentucky, a 15-minute drive from Lexington through many of the countless horse farms that dominate the area. She was already a veteran of the coffeehouse scene in nearby Morehead, where she’d studied at Morehead State, and in Bozeman, Montana, where she landed for a year when her money ran out on what supposed to be a cross-country escapade, but this was the first time she’d formed a band. Beth came up with the name Mother Jane by combining Mother Jones, one of the leading labor organizers of late-19th and early-20th century America, with Calamity Jane, a western legend in the late 1800s. “I actually wanted to name the band Mother Jones,” Burden recalls now, “but I didn’t feel right; it would be like naming a band Oprah Winfrey, or whatever, and I didn’t feel right about that. Our songs are not political; we just make personal statements, so it’s kind of ironic that we’re named after Mother Jones and Calamity Jane.”
The pair quickly discovered several things they have in common, chiefly an affinity for sheer silliness (“One reason that people connect with us,” Lisa figures, “is that we are like two kids; our live shows include a lot of laughing.”) and a shared love for artists like Shawn Colvin and Patty Griffin, among others. There was also no mistaking how effortlessly their voices wrapped around each other, giving Mother Jane a striking two-part harmony, a central element on all three of their previous albums—their self-titled 2000 debut, 2002’s A Safe Distance and Can’t Complain in 2003. read more.
