The Jelly Bean Jar
Ever so often, a song comes along that sweeps everyone up in its lyrics, melody and message; you haven’t heard it before, but it seems to have been part of your life’s soundtrack for years. The appeal goes beyond genre or demographic – it just feels good, whatever your age or walk in life. A song like that lasts for generations, an anthemic touchstone that becomes a part of society’s fabric. “The Jelly Bean Jar,” the latest release from Nashville/Memphis-based songbird Camille Harrison, is that kind of song. Harrison’s career as a performer, songwriter, producer and recording engineer has taken her around the world and to every corner of America; whether nailing parts as a session singer in Nashville, wowing audiences on concert stages and in clubs, or tracking custom albums for other artists, she’s built a reputation as a “pro’s pro” who can make the music come alive. Drawing from that deep well, Harrison and award-winning co-writer Don Pfrimmer spin “The Jelly Bean Jar’s” poignant, positive lyrics into a melody most will sing along with on their second hearing. Have you heard it before? No, it’s new and original – it just seems like you’ve known this song all your life. “I’ve written many songs with Don over the years since 1997,” says Harrison. “He's always been such a kind, inspiring person and wonderful friend; so the days of writing were always great any time we'd sit down together! And you knew there’d be a good chance something special would come out of it.” Pfrimmer’s long list of hits includes “Love Without Mercy,” “She Keeps The Home Fires Burning” and “My Front Porch Looking In.” Released as a single, “The Jelly Bean Jar” sports a top-drawer arrangement and world-class production – not to mention Harrison’s sweet/bright vocal turn. Just in time for the holidays, “The Jelly Bean Jar” is available for download. Get ready to warm up, cheer up, and step up to sing along with “The Jelly Bean Jar”!
