Talk:The Wailin' Jennys

multiple albums
As far as I know the Jennys have had one album and one EP, is that really "multiple albums"? Chenxlee 13:48, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * two albums and one EP. --ghoti 20:18, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

On their website, I see several albums (10?). 79.228.181.73 (talk) 00:16, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Name
The group's name is a pun on Waylon Jennings, isn't it? Should that be in the article, or is it unverifiable? —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 18:40, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks like a pun to me, but I suspect there might be trademark issues if the band themselves were to acknowledge it. Probably not a problem for wikipedia, but I can find no reference of the Jennys mentioning the origin of their band name. I guess I'm neutral on whether the reference is made in the article. Go ahead if you like.  :)  --ghoti 05:14, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * A similar observation was made in Sing Out! Vol 48 # 3 (fall 2004); see "The Wailin' Jennys: they're not Lisa" by Langston Patrick. Here's their take on the origin of the name: Pretty good name. The Wailin' Jennys. Saying it aloud the first couple of times, you have to stop and think for a second or you'll blurt out, "Waylon Jennings." Makes the name stick in your head.
 * "Not that the Jennys--a female folk/roots trio from Winnipeg with a reputation for sparkling live performances--can take credit for their sobriquet. That honor goes to John Sharples, owner of Sled Dog Music guitar shop and cafe in Winnipeg. It was Sharples who, hosting the Jennys' first-ever concert back in early 2002, discovered the group had no name and quickly slapped one on them. It stuck."
 * The first time I heard the name it was immediately clear to me where it came from. --Brian Josephson (talk) 20:46, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The article is a good source for info on the band pre-break-up with Cara Luft. -MrFizyx 22:48, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a good excuse for a cite. On second though ... nah, too obvious.  ;-)   ◉ ghoti  04:58, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Violinist
Does anyone know the name of their violinist, who seems to have survived with the group longer than the individual members have? His violin playing plays an important part in their songs. --Brian Josephson (talk) 20:21, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Can either be Jeremy Penner or Richard Moody depending on when you've seen them. It is covered in the history section.-- ☾Loriendrew☽  ☏(ring-ring)  20:37, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that. I guess I didn't read far enough.--Brian Josephson (talk) 20:50, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Photo
The image in this article about this musical group is of one member of a trio, an incorrect depiction. May I contribute an image of the group captured at a recent performance? 174.104.120.197 (talk) 05:05, 16 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Seems like a good idea: replace the present one and amend the text. Brian Josephson (talk) 11:04, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
