Fan Quotes...

perfect!
I was very satisfied. I like 'quiet inside' best.
When I am listening this CD, I feel so rest and then I go in mysterious place. The songs and his voice tempt me there. I am very happy to meet this CD. Thank you!

You have a whole new generation of Janedoe lovers. This album is the most reminiscent and provocative foreplay to love album I could imagine. Putting the singer with words surrounded by the music is an aphrodisiac for the soul. Thank you, thank you, thank you.....Evee....by the way, I didn't mention I was 70.

a chilled carafe by a warm fire shared with that special someone and this disc.... life is good....
-JeepNut

smart, tight, and soulful
Succumbed to the music during the lonelygirl craze. "Junkie" was stuck in my mind for months before I tracked this disk down. Am pleased to have this earful -- the lyrics are simple, but smart, and the songs are tight. Tubbs alternates spareness and lilting melancholy in his vocals, the result of which creates a compelling tension between disaffection and soul.

Bravo !
Thank you for adding new songs.
It's always a pleasure.
I dream of a show in Paris or somewhere in France.
Waiting for that, I'll be the first one to your virtual tour !
See you.

   I'm your fan from China.There's no word can express how exciting to find your official website.
   I hadn't heard of you and your band until I watched "The Jacket"."Quiet Inside",to be honest,that's one of the most emotional song I've ever heard and I've kept it in my Mp3 for over 2 years.There are many guys love this song and eager to know more informations about you.
   You know,in China it is almost impossible to buy your records.We tried hard to find more songs and videos on web only to find a few songs.Besides "QI",I love "Junkie","Lullaby"as well.
   So could you please make a peer to share the 2 ablums and some lives on Emule? And are you gonna have some lives in China? And to make an official MV of "Quiet Inside",I think that will be quite amazing.
   Longing for your reply
   Best wishes!

The Jane Doe's: The New Face of White Soul

I envy the people of LA for only one reason: they have The Jane Doe's. The Jane Doe's are the funkiest, sexiest thing to happen to my MP3 player since I downloaded Ben Harper's "Sexual Healing" which I'd previously considered the sexiest 5 minutes of recorded music ever.

My wife found The Jane Doe's on a video blog, and within a few minutes we'd logged onto their website (myspace.com/thejanedoes) It was love at first listen. I ordered "You Bring the Devil" immediately and waited anxiously for it to arrive, but apparently it's getting so popular that the orders were piling up faster than they could fill them.

And no wonder.

The Jane Doe's have an ethereal, funky soulful sound that simply exudes sex. Singer A.R. Tubbs' sexy falsetto captures the honesty and earnestness of Smokey Robinson and the pure id of Prince. All of this is set against a smooth, funky R & B backdrop.

We're bombarded everyday with anthems to sex and love, but What sets The Jane Doe's songs apart from others is a certain mystical, almost voodoo quality. It's not just sexy, it's DEEPLY sexy. For example in "My Lady" Tubbs sings of wanting to know his partner's body so well that he can map it from memory.

The Jane Doe's love songs evoke all the extremes of the emotional roller coaster that is love. From the highs in the aptly titled "High", to the lows of lows in "Sad Again." The band captures the insatiable yearning in both "Junkie" and the title song.

As if the musings on love and passion weren't enough, the CD also takes a great stab at social commentary with the mellow, but scathing "Who's Kidding Who." It's a heartfelt jab at the status quo that reminds of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On."

As laid back as The Jane Doe's are, their music jams in a way that a lot of soul doesn't. The songs are all carefully laced with Daniel Thomas' funky bass stylings and the band's impeccably tight rhythm section.

Their studio music is great, but their music really seems to blossom live. I can only use the word "seems" because, alas, they're in LA and I'm in Western NY and so their videos are the closest I may ever get to seeing them live, despite my constant pleas for an east coast tour. Check them out their live performances below, and surf over to janedoes.com.
