	RATW: Everything but the Dead
		Jennifer was oblivious to that aspect of this business and seemed more obsessed with the Tone that blew away the crowd.
		Jennifer's command of a Les Paul is skillfully effortless: Her chording is a caress of the strings and the paradox proceeding from the Super Reverb is somewhat amazing.
		Trynin's got a sense of humour and conversed with the crowd, addressing the men lapping the stage monitors as "Sir" when they came up with a comment.

	Denver - Music - KEEP TRYNIN - westword.com
		Trynin's melodies, her skill at pulling brawny riffs from her guitar, and her observational/confessional lyrics have led to a slew of flattering comparisons; Rolling Stone recently likened her to Liz Phair, the Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde and (no, this isn't a misprint) Joni Mitchell.
		Trynin is appreciative of the attention, but she's bothered by that stereotypical something that lurks just beneath the surface of these kudos.
		Jennifer Trynin the person first emerged from her mother's womb somewhere in New Jersey circa 1963, and by the time she was in fifth grade, she was already teaching herself how to play the guitar.

	Cockamamie - Jennifer Trynin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		Jennifer released an EP (See the review of "Trespassing" in Issue Number 13 (1989) - ed.) on Pathfinder Records in 1988 that could have fit very neatly tacked onto the end of Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark album (and that's a compliment - she's no clone!).
		She disappeared from the recording scene for a while and has resurfaced with a band in Boston.
		Jennifer has recently signed with Warner Brothers who will reissue Cockamamie in the summer of 1995.

		Trynin throws more left curves into her songs, exploring the abstract possibilities of Denneen's keyboard loops, her own guitar textures, and her multilayered vocals (the voices are all hers, even the slowed-down, very male-sounding ones on "Around It").
		Trynin reports that Warners suggested she change the title because Wal-Mart might not carry an album that mentions guns.
		But Trynin also had to hit the road with big money and expectations riding on her, only to come back home with a few good reviews, a bit of airplay, and less-than-phenomenal sales of Cockamamie, which she'd previously released on her own Squint label.

		When the dust settled, Trynin had a deal of unprecedented generosity, and it looked as if the sky were the limit as her career left the launching pad.
		Trynin’s book is honest and comprehensive, and she makes the life of a rock star - especially an untested, provisional rock star like herself - seem like no fun at all.
		So, you might not remember Jennifer Trynin as a pop musician - even when her single was nearly a hit, no one could remember the song’s title - but if her songs are half as good as her memoir, the music industry missed out on a solid talent.

		Trynin has released yet another wonderful pop-rock record, only to be dropped by her record label in favor of "better selling" artists.
		Trynin is as talented a guitarist as she is a singer and songwriter.
		It would be easy to lose Jen Trynin in today's throng of "girls with guitars," but "Gun Shy/Trigger Happy" is so well-written, well-produced and well-performed that to call Trynin just another girl with a guitar seems as criminal as saying F. Scott Fitzgerald was just another guy with a typewriter.

	Jennifer Trynin - Biography - AOL Music
		Jennifer Trynin claims no real influences on her melodic pop songs, which generally examine failed relationships, since the only record she has ever owned is her debut album, Cockamamie.
		Trynin recorded it on her own Squint label at age 31 while simultaneously running her own desktop publishing business.
		As the album found its way into the hands of studio executives, a bidding war for Trynin's talents ensued, and she eventually chose Warner Brothers, which re-released Cockamamie as originally recorded.

	It ain't no good life, but it's my life \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Trynin's memoir takes us on a Mr Toad's Wild Ride of music business executives, managers, “head honchos” and underlings, all vying for her attention and her ink on their dotted line.
		I still haven't heard Jen Trynin's CDs, but I found it disappointing that her memoir rarely spoke of her artistic process, her views of life, the kinds of visions that one expects to – and loves to – hear from an artist.
		Trynin has a knack for telling a story, though, and it's a good story, an anthropological look at a social event of the last century.

		Trynin’s musical talent — and an attitude as snarly as her Gibson guitar — intersected with the female singer-songwriter zeitgeist of the early ‘90s, precipitating a bidding war for her among major labels.
		In 1994, Trynin self-released “Cockamamie,” a pop-tinged album that generated a tidal wave of interest among music industry execs hungry to land a promising female artist.
		Trynin also said the company’s marketing approach veered from selling her as a sensitive singer-songwriter to a tough-as-nails rocker chick, sending consumers a confusing and muddled message.

		Singer Jennifer Trynin is coming out with a debut album which has the distinction of triggering one of the most heated major-label bidding contests in recent times.
		Entitled 'Cockamamie,' the Trynin album is characterized by the hard-edged, guitar-dominated sound which the artist has become known for in her native Boston, MA.
		LOS ANGELES - When Jennifer Trynin began releasing her music on her own label, all she wanted to do was pick up a few live gigs.

	Buffalo Tom, Jennifer Trynin, Juliana Hatfield (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		A few days earlier, next door at T.T. the Bear's Place, Jennifer Trynin and her band played under a fake name (which we'll keep secret, since they plan to use it again).
		Tom's and Trynin's next albums will likely be pivotal in those artists' careers and should be among the highlights of local pop in '97.
		The irony is that when Trynin performed at T.T.'s recently, for an audience that was likely as tiny as any she's had in her career, she was enjoying herself as much as I've ever seen her -- certainly more so than when the same club was packed to capacity upon Cockamamie's release.

		Tracy wrote some glorious choruses, but Jennifer also wrote glorious verses, and this is a rarer skill and, to me, a more valuable and interesting one.
		Trynin's guitar, struck as much as strummed, buzzes and chatters around the margins and through the hearts of everything, and formations of cloned Jens reach for contrastingly angelic harmonies.
		Whether all this means that Jennifer Trynin merits a Grammy or not, I don't know, not least because I don't know what "merits a Grammy" could actually mean.

	TrouserPress.com :: Jennifer Trynin
		First issued independently on the Boston-based singer/songwriter's own label, Jennifer Trynin's Cockamamie was released nationally in June 1995, at precisely the same time as Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill.
		This was initially a good thing: Trynin's smart, self-sufficient-woman rock songs were reviewed favorably next to Morissette's jilted-lover rants, and many critics wrote that Trynin was the one to watch.
		That's a shame, because Cockamamie (recorded as a trio with a rhythm section) is a vital, astonishingly mature debut, full of defiantly hooky power pop kept in check by an endless supply of surly asides and Trynin's ear for bitter blues-soaked recrimination.

	Jennifer Trynin - Cockamamie (1995)
		If they had their way, the promotions department of Squint Records would have you know that Jennifer Trynin is bad, but in a good way.
		It helps that Trynin's got a thoroughly appealing voice, sort of a cross between Meryn Cadell and Maggie Estep (who don't sell as much as Harvey or Phair, so of course Squint couldn't use them as comparisons) or a female Matthew Sweet (whose being a male creates its own comparison problems).
		Either way, Jennifer Trynin can duke it out with herself in public and watching will definitely be worth the price of admission.

	(COOLLIST) Jennifer Trynin & Austin Top 10
		Well, after a break where the techs reconfigured instruments and equipment, the woman I saw took stage, announced herself as Jennifer, and proceeded to play a 50 minute set of most of the songs off the album and a few new ones.
		By the time the show started, the club was rather full, with all the tables taken up and the area between the tables and the stage occupied by a mass of bodies.
		She was pretty cool, answering a couple of questions, asking me a few, and then, signing my CD front insert I brought with me. If she plays Atlanta soon, try to go to the show.

		One of the few recognizable names on this two-CD compilation of Boston women songwriters, the ever solid Patty Larkin starts things off with "Angels Wings" from her 1997 Perishable Fruit.
		Jennifer Kimball lends "Veering From the Wave," the title track from her solo debut album, as well as an appearance with Larkin.
		Perhaps that helps keep the overall vibe as consistent as it is, though intermingling studio and live recordings makes the compilation's sonic quality a little uneven.

		Jennifer assaults music with as much muscle (If I Had Anything To Say, Beg) as the Pretenders debut - she sounds likes she's on a collision course with a freight train.
		As a Boston-area native, I was turned on to Jen Trynin through some musician friends gigging with her in the late 80s - and from the moment I heard her do "Knock Me Down", I was a groupie.
		That song, with its heavy-rocking offbeat, is still one of my all-time favorite rockers and a pretty good gauge of her dark, off-kilter often-funny musical and spiritual perspective.
