Ghost In My Head, the Long-Awaited Debut Album From Jill Hennessy, Available Worldwide on Tuesday, June 16

NEW YORK, June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Ghost In My Head, the much-anticipated debut album of original songs written and performed by the Canadian-born musician/actress Jill Hennessy, will be available worldwide on Tuesday, June 16.

Jill's debut album is being made available online through all major digital service providers including iTunes, Amazon.com, Aimee Street, Listen.com, MusicNet, Liquid Audio, Napster, Sony Connect, BuyMusic.com, PureTracks, Sprint PCS and others. Borders will be the exclusive retailer for Ghost In My Head, available in stores on Tuesday, June 16.

Written over the course of a prolific creative period in 2005-2007, the songs on Ghost In My Head offer a series of intimate emotional vignettes and poignant observations on love, loss, struggle and redemption told through a variety of fluid melodies and vivid musical moods.

Songs on Ghost In My Head include "10,000 Miles," "4 Small Hands," "Ghost In My Head," "Oh Mother," "Erin," "Save Me," "Falling Down," "Holding On," "Slow Down," and "Thank You."

Jill's new album marks her first full-length release since her official recording debut in 2003, when her performances of songs by Tom Waits ("You're Innocent When You Dream") and Bob Dylan ("It's All Over Now, Baby Blue") on the T Bone Burnett-produced "Crossing Jordan" soundtrack album prompted the All Music guide to praise her "....expressive voice with just a tinge of world-weariness."

Jill recorded Ghost In My Head at Austin's legendary Bismeaux Studio, a state-of-the-art facility that's played host to recordings by a variety of artists including Asleep At The Wheel, the Chieftains, Trace Adkins, Pam Tillis and Sir George Martin, among many others.

Helping Jill create the haunting ambience radiating throughout Ghost In My Head is Grammy-winning Irish producer Patrick McCarthy, whose resume includes records by R.E.M., the Waterboys, Counting Crows, U2, Madonna and others.

Jill -- who sings lead and background vocals and plays rhythm (acoustic and electric) guitar on Ghost In My Head -- assembled a core ensemble of incredibly simpatico musicians for the album (as well as for her live performances): Robbie Gjersoe, lead guitar (the Flatlanders, Jimmie Dale Gilmore); Brian Standefer, cello (Alejandro Escovedo, James McMurtry); Bukka Allen, accordion, keyboards (Terry Allen, the Flatlanders, the BoDeans); Glenn Fukunaga, bass (Jo Carol Pierce, Los Super Seven); and Rob Affuso, drums (Skid Row).

Guest artists joining Jill and her band on the album are R.E.M.'s Mike Mills, the Dixie Chicks' Martie Maguire (fiddle on "Holding On") and husband Gareth Maguire (tin whistle on "Holding On"), and the mythic Texas country pedal-steel player/multi-instrumentalist/producer Lloyd Maines. Also joining Jill on Ghost In My Head are her husband Paolo Mastropietro and their oldest son Marco.

Jill Hennessy will perform songs from Ghost In My Head during a special show at New York's Living Room on June 16, 2009.
