Jana Hunter with John Hunter

Spinning on Air | May 18, 2010
With a vocal style that sounds both off-hand and carefully focused, Texan Jana Hunter gives her songs a lilt and mystery that makes her music strange, familiar, and uniquely her own. She visited Spinning On Air before in 2005, but when Jana was in town a couple weeks ago she dropped by host David Garland’s living room to record a new session for today’s show. She brought along two of her eight siblings. One sister just listened, and brother John Hunter plays some subtle electric guitar and sings low bass back-up.
