Joe Jencks delivers an album that is so personal and so passionate that it shatters any stereotype and places him solidly on the map as one of the finest modern singer songwriters. Joe's vocal performances are unparalleled, and a stellar cast of supporting musicians contributes to make the recording an exceptional piece of work from start to finish. Guests include: Jon Carroll (Mary Chapin Carpenter's pianist) keyboards, Pat Wictor on slide guitars, Siobhan Quinn on backing vocals, Jim Robeson on electric bass, Charlie Pilzer on upright bass, Bob Beach on harmonica, Charlie Bernhardt, and the Jencks Family on vocals.
The Candle And The Flame combines the many facets of Joe's diverse musical background and weaves them all together into an aural tapestry that is stark and exquisite. Joe sings with the passion of an R & B/Gospel singer, the knowledge of a classical vocalist, the soul of an Irish Tenor, and the conscience of a troubadour. At the center of Joe's music is an abiding love for all humanity, a love that transcends the everyday and boarders on the mystical.
