Last album ="Living Under June " (1994)
This album ="Happy?" (1997)
Next album ="Blood Red Cherry " (2001)"Happy?" is the third
album by Canadiansinger/songwriter Jann Arden , released in 1997 (see1997 in music ).The album's title and cover, which features an image of Arden sucking her thumb, are seemingly at odds with Arden's image as a writer and performer of sad love-gone-wrong songs. However, Arden is also widely known in Canada for being gregariously funny and engaging in concert, and her self-deprecating wit has endeared her to fans as much as her music. In addition to her own compositiona, the album also contained a cover of the 1960s classic "To Sir With Love".
