Kenny Edwards says about the album, "Anyone can make a music CD, but this is like music theater".
"The Ballad of Calamity" is Americana Rock with a 70's hangover or Folk-a-delic Rock. Recording songs is an art form. In the studio the songs become a picture of the moment for each song. Some songs are recorded simply, such as "Goodbye", while others have a complex texture involving an added soundscape, like "You Don't Wanna Know". "The Ballad of Calamity" takes the listener on a journey through Jena's life and hometown of Santa Barbara CA, USA, but it could be anywhere. Currently, Jena is submitting her songs to film and TV, and playing locally with a variety of musical friends, Tony Ybarra, Dylan Douglas, and Steve Stockmal.
