On Bet on the Wind
"Reynolds has a touching and mournful tremble in her voice, and some grit too, on this collection of sweet and driving country-folk-Americana...terrific new CD..."
-- Sarah Rodman, The Boston Herald

Bostonia Magazine
"Is there room for yet one more singer-songwriter in this world? If it's Jenny Reynolds, I'd say yes. She writes intelligently emotional songs, her music is melodic and catchy, and her voice is rich and compelling. She plays acoustic guitar, and with her talented backing band, rocks out when the mood suits her, and still can be meditatively quiet, as on the heartbreakingly beautiful 'Bet on the Wind.' "

Northeast Performer
"...a powerhouse performer..."

Jenny Reynolds - Bet on the Wind
Formerly a high-school English teacher, the talented and attractive Jenny Reynolds has graduated, so to speak, into the world of original folk-pop. Her songs include a healthy dose of Americana as well as country influences which are all punctuated by her beautiful singing voice.

Teaming with local notables Chris Rival, Richard Gates, Duke Levine, Kevin Barry with guest vocals by Catie Curtis, Reynolds hosts not only great songs but a flawless performance as well. She sounds as comfortable in a country theme as she does in a straight pop number. Best cuts include the country snap of "Was it You", the haunting "She", and the beautiful "This is Ourselves".
Douglas Sloan, Metronome Magazine (Boston), Nov., 2002
