The Story (American Band)
The Story was an early 1990s American folk-rock duo composed of Jonatha Brooke and Jennifer Kimball. History Jonatha Brooke and Jennifer Kimball first met in 1981 while first-year students at Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts. Originally called simply "Jonatha and Jennifer", they performed regularly throughout the Boston area until graduation, at which time Brooke started working in a dance company and Kimball went to a publishing firm. In 1989 the duo recorded a demo, ''Over Oceans'', and were quickly signed by Green Linnet Records. They changed their name to The Story, and their debut album ''Grace in Gravity'' was released in 1991. Elektra Records then signed the band, reissuing the album a year later. ''The Angel in the House'' followed in 1993, but a year later The Story dissolved.

The Angel In The House (album)
''The Angel in the House'' is the second album by the folk-pop duo the Story, released in 1993. Critical reception ''The Boston Globe'' noted that "the album's 12 songs cover ground quickly, tripping through Latin-flavored upbeat pop, then reversing to dwell upon the inner questions that torment sufferers of eating disorders." ''The Washington Post'' wrote that "once again we find the duo's Jonatha Brooke and Jennifer Kimball mining a mostly dark vein of ballads, but the lyrics are more complex, the arrangements more sophisticated." ''The New York Times'' concluded that "both Ms. Brooke's lyrics and the album's moody jazz and Brazilian-flavored arrangements owe a debt to oniMitchell's late 1970's albums, especially ''Hejira''." AllMusic called the songs "beautifully arranged and well-orchestrated tale of longing, love, and/or loss." Track listing All songs written by Jonatha Brooke Jonatha Brooke (born January 23, 1964) is an American folk rock singer-songwriter and guitar ...
