 hat spectrum is wide but identifiable. Juice Newton,
through her pop and country hits, her distinctive voice and entertaining
performance skills, continues to captivate audiences from teens

stated, "Newton remains one of the most riveting performers
in music, rocking on stage and playing each emotion for what
it's worth. And it's worth a lot." |

tastes were developed early. She grew up in Virginia Beach, where
her Navy upbringing exposed her to a variety of musical influences.
She could be found singing in area coffee houses developing her
emotional, heartfelt folk songs. Juice went west for college
and formed a folk-rock trio in Northern California. The trio
developed a large following and became known as Silver Spur.

of their growing popularity, Silver Spur was told to go south.
No, not to Nashville, but to Los Angeles, where after constant
work in area clubs, they were signed to RCA. Their experience
with RCA led them to Capitol records where Juice made her mark
with such hits as "Angel of the Morning," "Queen
of Hearts", and her first country hit, "The Sweetest
Thing." Through the mid-eighties, she followed these hits
with "Break It To Me Gently" , which won her a Grammy,
"Love's Been A Little Bit Hard On Me", and "A
Little Love". A second signing with RCA produced a string
of top 10 country hits such as "You Want To Make You Mine",
"Hurt", "Old Flame", "Cheap Love",
"Both To Each Other", "Tell Me True", and
"What Can I Do With My Heart?". |

one of the most riveting performers in country music, any music,
rocking on stage and playing each emotion for what it's worth".

from the stirring stillness of "The Sweetest Thing"
to the rollicking "Love's Been a Little bit Hard on Me,"
with a big dose of other Juice favorites as well as her ever
