Hi!
My
name is Reine Jonsson, and I'm a wannabe singer/songwriter. I mostly stay at
home and write songs,
but I'm available for gigs in the Stockholm area if you feel the need for some
low key singer/songwriter
entertainment. I mostly do my own songs, but also covers of artists like Townes
Van Zandt, Tom Waits,
Lucinda Williams, Ryan Adams, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Jonathan Richman,
Josh Ritter, Scott Miller,
Neil Young etc. Since i havnt quit my day job, you have to contact me and see
what times i am available ;)
Here you can find a few songs. Both originals and covers.
Contact me for more info about all my songs.
Covers:
Long
black veil (Danny Dill/Marijohn Wilkin)
I always liked Lefty Frizzel's original version best, so i tried to make something
in that direction.
Society
(Jerry Hannan)
From the soundtrack to the movie "Into the wild".
Jerry Hannan wrote it, and Eddie Vedder
made it magic. Im doing a lo-fi version here.
The
wreck on the highway
(Dorsey Dixon)
I
just love the broken down version that Townes Van Zandt does on "The Highway
Kind".
This is my version. Written by Dorsey DIxon way back when.
Originals:
Walking away from you
I tried making an Irish sounding song when I got the chance to
work with a singer named
Helena Nilsson from Klippan, Skåne. She has a voice that reminded me of
Sandy Denny :)
It sounds so sweet (When you sing it soft into my
ear)
This is one of my newest songs, and its something i made to counter
all my sad, dreadful
themes. I just think it's sweet and cute.
You scare the hell out of me (Piano version)
One of the few times i used piano/keyboard when recording.
I also put an old
harmonica on there, and it kinda floats around here and there. One of my favorite
recordings that i did.
