Pat's Music
A few years ago, my partner, Bob Burton, and I formed BoJak Records to showcase the talents of singer/songwriter Jude Johnstone. Jude had received a wall-full of gold and platinum records as a writer for Bonnie Raitt, Trisha Yearwood, Stevie Nicks, Bette Midler and many others, but we decided it was time for her to perform her own material.We’ve released three critically-acclaimed CDs, Coming of Age, On a Good Day, and her latest, Blue Light. Bonnie Raitt raves, “Jude is one of my favorite singers and songwriters. Blue light is as deep as it is soulful...she nails it again.” And this from Performing Songwriter magazine:"...everything is beautified by Johnstone's imagery."
You fans of Lifetime TV's hit series, "Army Wives" have probably heard Jude's moving rendition of "Wounded Heart" on that show. Now you can hear all of Jude's haunting and beautiful music at special Wheel Watchers Club prices.
Jude Johnstone's "Mr. Sun" CD
There is an intelligence and sophistication to Jude Johnstone’s music that is dramatically revealed in her fourth CD “Mr. Sun,” from BoJak Records. “Mr. Sun” continues with the jazzy/blues musical rhythms found in her last project “Blue Light,” while maintaining her trademarks of emotional depth, passionate vocals and haunting melodies. Johnstone’s level of artistry continues to grow with “Mr. Sun.”
Jude Johnstone's "On a Good Day" CD
On a Good Day showcases Johnstone's trademark meaningful lyrics and memorable melodies. A bittersweet collection of snapshots from her upbringing in Maine revealing an artist who is unafraid to dive into deep emotional waters. Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Rodney Crowell and Julie Miller make guest vocal appearances.
Jude Johnstone's "Coming of Age" CD
Coming of Age, the 2002 BoJak Records release of Jude Johnstone’s debut CD included her songs covered by Bonnie Raitt (“Wounded Heart”), Stevie Nicks (“Cry Wolf”), Johnny Cash (“Unchained”), Jennifer Warnes (“The Nightingale”), and Trisha Yearwood (“Hearts in Armor”). It was featured on NPR’s Morning Edition and reached #6 on Amazon’s Best Sellers List.
Jude Johnstone's "Blue Light" CD
“…’Blue Light’ is an excellent mix of bluesy and folksy jazz…Johnstone’s writing, as well as her way of revealing a lyric, is filled with a reflective heart. Blue Light is worthy of repeated investigation.”--All About Jazz Magazine
“Jude is one of my favorite singers and songwriters...’Blue Light’ is as deep as it
is soulful, she nails it again.”
--Bonnie Raitt
