JON RONIGER: My World, a CD review by Lisa Smith

  In his new album 'My World', Jon Roniger - an exceptional storyteller, takes you on a fantastic joy ride through all the big moments and all those little moments that build a love story. Offering a matter-of-fact, honest, heartfelt and sometimes ironic look at life, 'My World' has just the right amounts of the good stuff. It's an awesome acoustic album that features Roniger and Rico Mastrodonato on guitar, Eamonn Flynn on the piano, and percussionist Mark Abbott. 
  From the cool boogie and blues piano in 'Medicine Man' to the awesome finger-picking guitar in 'Not My Life' and 'Deston Eve' - these guys are polished and musically joined at the hip. Back-up vocalist Jeanette McNamara has a beautifully deep, yet light and bright voice. On songs like 'Maybe' and 'Heart Like Ice', her and Roniger's harmonies are outstanding - they flow dynamically just like Fleetwood Mac or even the Mamas & Papas.
  'My World' was produced by Jon Roniger and Joel Jaffe. For Roniger's booking and show schedule (he's playing gigs all over the place), and to listen to his tunes and buy his CDs, visit www.jonroniger.com .
