░ ..;Release Notes;.. ░
░ Rooted in a love of landscape, following ░
░ pathways both ancient and modern with a ░
░ mix of traditional tunes and original ░
░ compositions, John Jones has turned in an ░
░ impressive, satisfying collection. ░
░ ░
░ Part of the motivation for this album ░
░ came from Jones' decision to walk from ░
░ the Welsh borders where he lives to an ░
░ Oysterband event in Leicester. That's ░
░ very nearly a couple of hundred miles. ░
░ Clearly such a decision was not only good ░
░ for his carbon footprint but also ░
░ creative inspiration, if Rising Road is ░
░ anything to go by. ░
░ ░
░ Away from the riotous energies of his ░
░ Oysterband day job, Jones cuts something ░
░ of reflective figure on the dark opener ░
░ Let Me Fall: ôKilling myself with ░
░ mockery, I lose myself with the power of ░
░ the word. I hide myself in vanity, one ░
░ more cry that can not be heard.ö ░
░ ░
░ Moving between rural and urban ░
░ environments, between emotional states of ░
░ loss and acquisition and spiritual and ░
░ temporal worlds, has awarded the album ░
░ with some genuinely artistic achievements ░
░ that slip beyond the usual furrows Jones ░
░ could be expected to travel. ░
░ ░
░ One such effort is Walking Through ░
░ Ithonside. With a majestically swaggering ░
░ chorus that would surely reach to the ░
░ rafters of stadiums were it ever to ░
░ escape the niche leash of the folk word, ░
░ it may well be the best song REM never ░
░ wrote. ░
░ ░
░ Seth Lakeman and Oysterband confederates ░
░ Alan Prosser (guitars) and Dil Davies ░
░ (drums) are amongst those providing sure ░
░ -handed support, and Al Scott's gently ░
░ eclectic production completes an intense ░
░ û and intensely satisfying û solo ░
░ venture. ░
░ ░
░ Working in the surreal circus of the ░
░ music industry for over 30 years with the ░
░ Oysterband has to have been something of ░
░ an education for those canny enough to ░
░ pick up on its lessons. John Jones' ░
░ writing implies he's been able to keep ░
░ his feet on the ground in more ways than ░
░ one. ░
