This album ncludes the beautiful singles, Give Her The Day, Human Failure with guest starsFrank Ricotti, Harry Beckett, Albert Lee & others
Born in 1953 in Hampshire, Jaki’s family was steeped in music, from a piano-playing Granddad that provided accompaniment to silent films; to a trained cellist Grandma, a concert pianist mother whilst her father was said to be no slouch behind the drums either – No surprise then that she too would follow a similar musical path….playing guitar primo and banjo
it was reported that after listening to Van Morrison’s ‘Astral Weeks’, Jaki felt suitably inspired to write songs like ‘Give Her The Day’ which eventually would find its way onto Raw But Tender….
The album itself is a superb blend of folk and blues with elements of country and rock, all topped off with her incredible voice which can range from emotive bluesy stylings through to genuine heartfelt anguish a la Janis Joplin. Fairport Convention members Pat Donaldson and Gerry Conway provide the rhythm section throughout and the arrangements and various instrumental support provided by Rob Young, Ivan Chandler, Albert Lee and Stuart Cowell ensure this is no cutesy amateur, outsider art type affair. ‘Oh Little Boy’ is adorned with a wonderful baroque woodwind arrangement, ‘New Horizon’ is augmented with some deft Banjo and Dobro fills, ‘But Which Way Should I Go’ even finds room for some jazz styled brass stabs and the understated string arrangement given to ‘Give her The Day’ is a thing of real beauty.
Shortly after the album was released Jaki toured as support to jazz fusionists the Mahavishnu Orchestra, she can also be heard supplying backing vocals to the Alan Parsons Project 1977 LP ‘I Robot’, after this her recorded output was just a handful of sporadic recordings made with her husband and fellow musician John Cartwright, an album ‘Rhythm Hymn’ was released in 1982 which added elements of funk ‘n’ soul into the mix – after that very little and She died of cancer shortly after her husband's death from a heart attack 2016.
