"I Think On These Things" Review from Laurie Lawson of electroniclink.com
Christmas came early this year. Award-winning JENNY BURTON has released a long-awaited solo album. "I Think On These Things..." is a delightful combination of gospel, blues, and rock infused with "Jenny Burtonisms" and touched by the musical genius of composer/producer Peter Link. The new music, mostly penned by Link, is smart, sassy and soul-stirring while traditional hymns magically interlace generations of musical celebration. You’ll hear Nigerian chants in the background of "You Bring Me Joy" and the chorus of "Faith" should become a national anthem. And wait until you hear what Link has done with Peter Seegar’s music in Burton’s rendition of "Turn, Turn, Turn!" Additional music and lyrics by Link and guest solos by John James and Billy Cliff easily make "He’s Got The Whole World In His Hands" worth the price of the album. Truly magical! Fans of Jenny Burton are already on their way to pick up this musical treasure. If you haven’t had the pleasure of experiencing Ms. Burton, "I Think Of These Things..." is a perfect introduction. It’s an album of jubilation and an ideal gift for anyone who needs a little uplifting.

"I Think On These Things" is a marvelous work... Praise the Lord...! Your newest release, I think On TheseThings is slammin'! I can't get enough of Turn Turn Turn. Upon listening to the album for the first time, I fastened my seat belt. This is a normal precaution, when preparing for a sky ride! I have learned to do this, anytime Jenny and Peter Link finishes up in the studio. (this "ain’t" my first time you know) Needless to say, preparations made, were to no avail. I couldn't help but get up out of my seat, as I rocked to, "God's Got ’Cha In Mind" "Turn Turn Turn" & "Touch This Heart Of Mine." I was completely out of control, and was loving every minute of it. Moreover, when I heard, "It's All About Love," it caused tears to stream down my face. Joyful, wonderful tears, once shed; they should never be wiped or washed away... (beautiful ballads often make me do that) The vocals in combination with the musical arrangements, are phenomenal. Loaded with encouragement, hope, and most important; the Spirit of the true & living God, this album is a "must have" for Jenny Burton fans, and a "I gotta get it" for everyone else. It is an absolute treasure to be added as part of any music collection. Jenny Burton is unmistakeably, beyond all reasonable doubt, no question; Jenny Burton is back!!! -- Wanda D. Peters, New York
"Thanks for sharing the news with us. Of course I went to the website and listened to as many of your songs as I could in one sitting. You are blessed with a beautiful voice. I loved the Christmas album and would like to hear more about the composer. My mother-in-law's favorite hymn was "In the Garden", which you do so well. We sang it at her memorial service. One of my favorites is the Battle Hymn of the republic; your rendition is wonderful." -- Edward Pazicky, NYC
