Release Notes:
Thoughtful Americana Music. Rocks hard quite often,
Plucks softly when called for. Lyrical content to
contemplate, enough volume to be a more than
suitable road trip companion.
"What I was trying to say about the "theme" of your
album is that you've captured something that people
say all the time in meaningless cliches (live life
to the fullest, live like there's no tomorrow, carpe
diem, etc, etc) and expressed that idea in a way
that really means something tangible. Songs should
have the effect of making people ask questions about
their lives, and I think that's about the best thing
a work of art can do. Also, I think the way the
first and last songs "frame" the album sort of adds
to the feeling that it was conceived of as a
cohesive group of songs."
-Brian Ivey, Independent Filmmaker
The record shows the wide range of influences in
Jones' repertoire. From the guitar-driven rockers,
to the country-tinged songs to the
always-interesting lyrics, it is not always easy to
put labels on what he does. But that is what makes
him worth seeing.
-From the Johnson City Press
