PRESS CLIPPINGS AND QUOTES
- “…sense of comfort and intimacy permeates nearly every aspect
of Love Is The Only Soldier, from the glistening melodies, the blanket-like
warmth of the production and the unpretentious honesty of the performances…while
you’re listening to the gorgeous melancholy and tasteful artiness of tracks
like If You Loved Me, Not Saying Goodbye and Only One, it’s impossible
not to surrender to Arden’s Love.
Review of “Love Is The Only Soldier”
- “Like sitting in front of a warm blazing fire with a favourite blanket
looking through a cherished memory box. Jann Arden’s abum Love is the
Only Soldier sounds just like home and that’s exactly where she recorded
it….Arden is an exceptional artist who always lives up to her previous
work. This is no exception as it's purely unforced, graceful and full of heart.”
Review of “Love Is The Only Soldier”
- “This album shows that Jann Arden has come a long way, and represents
that she has grown as an artist and as a person.”
Review of “Love Is The Only Soldier”
- “With her fifth album, the Calgary-born singer develops a sound that
is best described as graceful - witty and wise, infused with guitars and texture,
yet ultimately centered on Arden's poise.”
Review of “Blood Red Cherry”
- “In collaborating with her longtime guitar player Russell Broom, Arden
sets her dreamy excursions of love and lust to a stronger pulse, working with
drum loops to drive her fiercely erotic and romantic fantasies.
-Review of “Blood Red Cherry”
-“Blood Red Cherry marks as courageous a step as Peter Gabriel’s
So. Where other artists wallow in mediocrity Arden bravely risks with an album
that will stand for time to come.”
Review of “Blood Red Cherry”
- “It’s the modern feel of contemporary hit radio, but dished out
with an extra helping of sincerity without compromising an absorbing groove.”
Review of Tariq’s “While Your Down There”
- “The concert was a musical success thanks especially to Broom’s
contributions…”
Adrian Chamberlin, Victoria Times Colonist
- “...highlighted by guitarist Russ Broom, who has become a master of
understated solos.”
James Muretich, Calgary Herald
- “With her full bodied vocals and backed by the guitar virtuosity of
Russ Broom, Arden proved that she’s no studio concoction....”
James Muretich, Calgary Herald
- “What a great player.”
Jerry Donahue, The Hellecasters
- “Arden’s band, in particular guitarist Russell Broom , was in
top form, as usual.
The musicians’ unobtrusive playing allowed for Arden’s unmistakeably
supple vocals to be heard first and foremost.”
Lisa Wilton, Calgary Sun
-”The Arden band, led by her exceptional guitarist Russell Broom, is
tight and grooves” Chris Cobb, Ottawa Sun
-”Another heartbreak heartache with excellent guitar playing by Russ Broom”
