Here are a couple of reviews for My Barn Having Burned, I Can Now See The Moon:

From Margaret Moser, Austin Chronicle:

The charm of Penny Jo Pullus' new CD isn't diminished by the long and awkward title, My Barn Having Burned, I Can Now See the Moon. While she does well opening with Brian Setzer's "Knife Feels Like Justice," Pullus' songs "Chimayo" and "This Time, Next Time" are powerful statements on their own, blending Pullus' roots-rock tendencies with her love for old AM radio on hand-clapping tunes like "Little Black Dress."

From Mark Bialczak, Syracuse Post Standard:

A dozen years of living in the thriving musical hive of Austin, Texas, obviously have agreed with Penny Jo Pullus.  On "My Barn Having Burned I Can Now See the Moon," her distinctive voice will happily sound familiar to Central New Yorkers who remember her from her Syracuse days with Trailer Trash.  In fact, she reprises "Baby Please," one of the best songs from those 1990s days, as a big, weeping, country lament.  With the help of producer Ron Flynt, from power-pop band 20/20, Pullus makes sure to make this 11-song collection is much more an alt-country-roots record than her previous CDs.  Pullus tackles Brian Setzer's hip "Knife Feels Like Justice," Anny Celsi's edgy "Little Black Dress" and Tom Gillam's deep "We Don't Have to Go Home."  The best of her originals include the big beat love song "This Time, Next Time," in which she holds onto the hope and lyrics at the same time with the line, This time, I'm gonna get it right."  Spellbinding violin work by Warren Hood enriches her "Chimayo," and Syracuse pals Jake Cappazolo on bass, John Mangicaro on drums and Scott Ebner on piano and organ help drive home the point of Val Haynes' lovely "Lord Help Me."

So...I have been threatening to put out a new cd for the past 5 years. Well....now is that time. It is recorded, mixed and mastered and the title will be, "My Barn Having Burned, I Can Now See The Moon." Now comes the hard part, artwork, packaging, gigs, promotion, etc. Hopefully it will be out in the next month or two but until then, I will throw up a few tracks on here from time to time so you can get a feel for it. Hope you guys like it...xoxo PJ

So....I have had a myspace account for a while and can never find the time to mess with it so, I'm starting over.  Here is the new and improved version, ca. 2007. Anyway, here it is, (thanks Jason). It will always be changing. But, in the mean time, here is some ancient history for ya in the form of two videos that I did quite a few years ago. So, sit back, have a drink, laugh, cry or whatever.....
