California singer-songwriter Jesse Lynn Madera, will release her version of “Unchained,” the haunting, yet gripping, song originally recorded by Johnny Cash in 1996. The track was produced by powerhouse artist, songwriter, and producer, Dan Navarro (Lowen & Navarro), and engineered by multi GRAMMY award-winning producer/engineer Jim Scott, whose credits include Tom Petty, Tedeschi Trucks Band, and The Chicks (and Dan Navarro).

With Madera’s soulful and powerfully vulnerable vocals at the forefront, it is a striking track with warm electrics, lilting accordion, and a gorgeous acoustic guitar solo performed by Navarro. The single was recorded at Plyrz Studios in Santa Clarita, CA with additional vocals by Brian Whelan (Dwight Yoakum), Taras Prodaniuk (The Richard Thompson Trio), Jimmy Paxson (Lindsay Buckingham), Scott, and Navarro. Madera has been drawn to the song for over a decade and long dreamed of recording it. “I connected with this song probably because of my family’s history with depression and anxiety,” she shares. “This song is a prayer, and I feel every word of it. This character knows who she is and what could be. It’s really a hopeful and truthful song.” It’s really a hopeful and truthful song, and I wish I’d written it! I do believe that Jude’s penning of “Unchained” was a gift and a heroic act.”

​This was the first time, Navarro, has worked with Madera. “Jesse Lynn Madera possesses a voice and vision that burrows deep into the heart of things,” he praises. “She owns it, and, in short order, owns you. It was a rare gift to work with her.” “It takes a lot of courage to go after a tune made famous by Johnny Cash,” Scott believes. “The classic Jude Johnstone song ‘Unchained’ is now artistically Jesse Lynn Madera’s.” “Unchained” is being serviced to Americana, Non-Comm and Folk radio and available on all streaming platforms. It is the first official offering from her forthcoming album Belle Sent Me, a tribute to her grandmother and poet Belle Clayton, which will be released in 2023 Interview requests should be directed to Kate Richardson at The Richlynn Group.

About Jesse Lynn Madera Jesse Lynn Madera creates songs with depth and thought-provoking lyrics, seamlessly blending country, folk, soul, and jazz. “Madera’s lyrical and piano-driven songs are passionate and alluring, with a dramatic, ethereal, and almost otherworldly tone,” writes American Songwriter. “Evoking comparisons to the shapeshifting brilliance of Kate Bush and the confessional pop sensibilities of Tori Amos.” Jesse's live performances have earned her a devoted following from coast to coast. In fact Music Connection magazine put her on its “Hot 100 Live Unsigned Artists and Bands” in December (2023). https://www.musicconnection.com/hot-100-live-unsignedartists-bands-2/ Her recent touring highlights including festival appearances at Mile 0, 30A, Annapolis Songwriters, and Mile of Music, a two-month tour with The Zombies, and shows with Maddie Poppe and Mary Fahl.
