What People are Saying About Jaci Rae, The Indie Guide to Music, Marketing and Money and Can't Push A River
"Jaci Rae is a one-women power house. She's had great success as an author, musician, radio show host and more. In her Book "The Indie Guide to Music, Marketing and Money" she reveals everything she's learned in her colorful career - from recording and running a music business to publicity, promotion and sales.
A great primer on the music biz from an insider who has been there and done it on her own terms!"
Bob Baker, author of "Guerrilla Music Marketing Handbook" www.musicmarketingbooks.com
"If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, did it make a sound? If you make music and nobody hears it, did it make a difference? So you love to make music.
If that music is made out of inspiration, then it's going to move others. But to get your music
to others you need a plan.
I've been successful in
the music business for 40 years, and I can tell you
that Jaci's book The Indie Guide To Music, Marketing and Money gives you that plan.
You won't need to figure it out by trial and error.
Now it's up to you to follow that plan and successfully
spread your music."

WORD TO THE WISE Hi, I just wanted to drop a few lines to tell everyone how helpful the Jaci Rae's The Indie Guide to Music, Marketing and Money, LA Music Talks, and Marc Davison of ALL AREA ACCESS have been to my partner and I. We, in the earlier part of this year started a publishing company, Kymbuloo Publishing. With their help we have not only gotten college bookings, radio and Internet airplay, but also the number nine spot in the CMJ (College Music Journal). We have a CD single that has been selling, surprisingly, well.
-- Reginald Owens Kymbuloo Publishing
I thought the book was pretty thorough and well written. It seems fairly consistent with what Tim Sweeney and Diane Rapaport had to say, but I like the detail you went to. I especially appreciated the honesty with respect to getting airplay on college with country, as neither of the other two authors I mentioned touched on that , and I suspected that would be an issue. It's good to hear that from some personal experience.
--Rick Paul Lake Forest, CA

air-play, really beautiful music - you have a new fan, me.

"Can't Push a River" is truly a first class product, something you can really be proud of from the first to the
last track. It has made my task hard to choose which one should
be used first for airplay. Definitely marked for regular rotation

River"

"I've heard the so called "rough cut" of Jaci Rae's newest album release and all I can say is, 'WOW".
Country music with something for everyone. Western swing, bluegrass and of course, some great country ballads. A must
have for any collection."
Marlene
Slater, My Kind of Country www.mkoc.com
"She's one of the freshest most exhilarating gals on
the air today!"
Scott
Davis, Program Director KOFI Country 104 FM, MI
"I heard the CD and it was FANTASTIC! It's the best one
she has done yet. I especially liked the first song. Very
different style for her, but awesome. She has a sultry
but powerful voice on the ballads. Take it to the top!"
Shay
Gosnell, TableTop Productions
"It was recently my pleasure to work with Jaci Rae on
a 12 song recording project at Mikron Recording Studio in South Pittsburg, TN. I found Jaci to have a very lively personality and
a wonderful voice.
Her enthusiasm for her music and her
ability to deliver it in a very professional way was most
impressive. Her choice of material showed a genuine knack
for recognizing a good song with depth and meaning. I
look forward to her next project and so do all the musicians
who played on her recording. It was an enjoyable time.
"
Mike
Headrick, Mikron Studios, TN
"...it's content brings to us a spirit, a sense of authenticity.
Jaci Rae's voice is a mixture of softness, warmth altogether
with strength expressed with a lot of conviction. She
sings with her soul and heart and I hope she will keep
on singing for a long time with the same enthusiasm."
Dominique
Costanoga, ECMA, Country Roads France
" Jaci Rae is young and beautiful and fits perfectly into
today's contemporary Country market. The song "River of
Love" is a swampy tune, "The last One" is a big Ballad
about love and features duet vocals by her co-producer, Jim Reith. Excellent Album!"
DCDJA, Dutch Country, Disc Jockeys Association
"Jaci Rae's combination of musical prowess, passionate
vocals and high energy stage presence make Jaci Rae an
artist to watch."
Rob

"Jaci Rae's voice has the purity of Billy Holiday"
John
Iveny Shelton, Legendary Journalist
" Jaci Rae - "With her full-length/self-titled CD just released, her blend of country, jazz, and even more country is a
must for any fan of country. Very country oriented, it's
jazzy feeling helps bring an extra zing to the music.
Her voice always keeps the music sensual, no matter what
the lyrics are saying, as she take you through romantic
and heart breaking moments.
The music itself jumps from slow and very heart felt, to more up-tempo, bouncy numbers. Always keeping things
lively, she never drives down the same path twice&No. 133;&No. 133;Although
we haven't met, I'm sure we'd hit it off, country style.
Look out for Jaci Rae on radio playlists and charts worldwide!"
"Santa Cruz native Jaci Rae has a new CD out titled "Downhome
Girl." The five-song disc starts off with a jazzy number
then follows with the Dolly Parton tune "Coat of Many
Colors."
The other three song similarly carry on in the
country style, Rae learned from listening to her grandparents'
records as a child. The disc showcases her smooth, sweet
and controlled voice while backing musicians such as locals
Jim Norris and "Slippery" John Weston and Emmy Lou Harris'
guitarist Frank Reckard provide an unobstructive bed of
music. "Downhome Girl" sounds fresh and modern without
bowing too much to the rock 'n' roll trends which ruin
contemporary country.
As a result the disc has been warmly
received by radio stations across the globe. Rae says
that the disc is getting airplay in Kentucky, Australia, the Netherlands, Germany, Japan and Italy, and that record
label in Holland is interested in picking up the disc.
Scott
Cooper, Santa Cruz Sentinel
"Everything about this 5 track CD just screams country, from the front cover pic to the song titles & even to
the bio. While country may not be my favorite style of
music, I have to judge every demo on it's quality, not
it's style, & this demo is quite simply put, pretty stunning.
"Perfect Strangers" opens the show, tinged slightly with
a laid back jazzy feel & some crystalline vocals that
penetrate, but don't overpower the music. Second in is
a fair country classic, a cover of Dolly Parton's "Coat
Of Many Colours", which is just as well performed, & the
style eases off the extreme end of country, stoppingwelll
short of 'twine & twang'.
The other three tracks include
"I Gotta Dance" & "Whole Lotta Trouble For A Little Bit
Of Love", which are a bit more lively, whilst the missing
track is the best of all, an emotionally performed number
called "Your Side Of The Bed". If only all country music
was like this."

"Thanks a lot for you sending me your CD, it's wonderful.
I'll play it on my radio program here and introduce you
to my fans."
