Sirens

Possibly S.J.'s most excellent and universally popular album, Sirens goes from punk rock to lullabye, and everywhere inbetween, with no regrets. As this album showcases S. J.'s beloved Wendy trilogy, new gems "Alligator in the House", "Cold Sunshine", and more, the press has already named Sirens "the perfect mix of witty and weighty," (Memphis Flyer) and "S. J.'s finest album to date." (newWitch Magazine) From reptilian tango to pagan rock anthem, Sirens teases the shore of cold, hard reality with a dancing tide of riddles and fantasies sure to delight all those who lend an ear. Now professionally re-mastered for its second printing.

Blessings

Blessings is a purely spiritual work of art. This daring album is entirely dedicated to the pagan segment of S.J.'s fanbase, and may not be appropriate for all audiences. For those that are open to alternative spiritual paths, this album is not to be missed. Blessings opens with an invocation and includes other musical passages which are both powerful and functional, such as a moving piece about the power of the labyrinth, a hymn dedicated to the male deity Herne, a pair of highly energetic tunes devoted to dance, and two playful numbers relating to Mama Dragon. Ginger Doss of Dreamtrybe and Velvet Hammer fame describes Blessings as, "The most sacred, most highly evolved body of pagan work I have ever experienced. SJ walks her path, and it shows."

For the Girl in the Garden

S.J. Tucker has criss-crossed the nation in the past few years, leaving a trail of fire and passion--and devoted followers--wherever she goes. She has graciously turned her golden voice and vision to The Orphan's Tales--producing an extraordinary album of songs inspired by the book, interspersed with her own remarkable readings from the Tales. This is a unique artifact and a limited pressing--don't miss the intersection of these two young vagabond talents. You can read all about the book here.

Tangles

This album is a highly refined representation of S.J. Tucker's musical talent at an early stage in her career. The tracks on this disc are still some of her most popular and most-requested songs. Each track was selected for recording because it was someone's absolute favorite. If you like rich vocal harmonies and rich, masterful musical accompaniment, then you want to own Tangles: Love Songs, Myths, & Sticky Situations. (Now in its second printing!)

Haphazard

S.J. Tucker's original Magnum Opus. Haphazard is an excellent example of her diverse musical range. Many happy owners of this album claim to "never get tired of listening to it" and several claim to have "nearly burned a hole in the disc, from playing it so often." Every track on this album is equally loved, and this disc is now well into its second printing, with all-new cover art!

Tales from the Road

A stunning collection of recordings, drawn from a pair of S.J.'s live performances. The bulk of this disc was recorded at an intimate concert in Ann Arbor, MI and features 21 tracks and an hour of music. The enhanced CD bonus section has half an hour of additional recordings garnered from an in-studio interview and performance on KRFC FM in Fort Collins, CO. The main audio will play in any CD player, while the extra material is encoded as MP3 data accessible via your computer.
