Daylight, 4 stars and a Mojo playlisting!!
Just to say a massive thanks to the folks at Q (Andy Fyfe) and the Mojo team for giving my album a 4 star Q review and listing “Hey” from “Daylight & Stars” in the top 10 Mojo playlist!! Its been a great year for me musically so far and this tops it all off!! (and we’re only half way through…read the reviews at www.jimjones.co.uk.

Daylight and Stars 09/03/09
Well its finally finished.
After years of playing in bands and writing for various musical projects I have finally written and recorded my first solo album “Daylight & Stars” (Although I didn’t do it alone, Thanks Mr Bruntnell) and it only took me 2 years!!
I hope it was worth the wait.
Making this album has been a great experience for me and a lot has happened in the last couple of years. Finding the time to record this album wasn’t always easy but when it did happen it was always productive and always a good laugh.
At times it felt more like a social event than making an album as I would hook up with Pete (with the occasional visit from Dave Little and Will Greeves)in is Mortehoe Basement studio. Plied with red wine and treats Mr Bruntnell would twiddle and press stuff and I would do my best to sing and play my newly scribed tunes. Im not quite sure how we got to “A Cornish Western (track 11) but that might come out in another blog.
Dave, Will and Pete did a great job of helping me colour the album in and the result maybe that this one is a little brighter in feel than the STM album “Monochrome.”
I would really love to hear your comments and feedback which you can now leave on the “sign up” section of my website (be kind to me)
Ill do my best to keep you up to date with all thats happening and may even write up the odd online blog when Im out on tour with Peter Bruntnell in March 09.
Thanks again for your support and encouragement.
I hope to see you soon.
Jim
