The Wailin' Jennys' fourth full-length, Bright Morning Stars, was recorded at a cottage in Ontario and at Found Sound Production in Toronto. The album will be released in Canada, Europe, UK, and Australia on True North Records, and in the U.S. on Red House Records. Labelled "...one of the most exciting and polished acts in folk music." by Dirty Linen Magazine, The Wailin' Jennys sold in excess of 70 000 units worldwide of each of their two previous studio albums, 40 Days, and Firecracker - the latter spending an astonishing 63 weeks inside Billboard's Top 20 Bluegrass Albums chart. For Bright Morning Stars, their first studio record since 2006, The Jennys enlisted the talents of award-winning producer Mark Howard (Bob Dylan, Lucinda Williams, U2). With a growing international fan base and praise from major media including the BBC, The Boston Globe, The Independent (UK), and NPR Bright Morning Stars is one of the most highly-anticipated Folk/Bluegrass releases of 2011.
