Who is Jim Jones
“Jones specialises in intimate songs about life’s important moments. Timeless, classic stuff.” ****Q magazine (album review)
“Emotive confessionals and keening ballads… ?A troubadour in the real sense – just guitar, lyrics and voice. And what a voice, with more than hint of Bruce by way of Taunton rather than New Jersey…”? – Americana-uk.com (live review)
The short story…
Jim Jones has played music on the UK scene since his early teens. His latest album Daylight & Stars is his first solo project and arguably his best work yet.
The album has captured a lighter side of Jim’s journey, tipping its hat to the things he loves while still acknowledging the fragility of life and the occasional testing twists it can throw up.
Always honest, always emotional and always filled with glimpses of something beyond, Jim’s music has landed in a place it’s been leading to his whole life. His songs capture moments most can relate to, with frankness and hope.
D & S has already received a four star review from Nationally acclaimed music magazine “Q” and was placed in the top ten albums of the month in the July edition of “Mojo” magazine. Cross rhythms placed it in their top 20 all time albums of 2009 and it continues to gain momentum as the self released home produced album from a small corner of South West England starts to make a big mark in the music scene.
Daylight & Stars is hopefully the first of many solo projects, with plenty more glimpses to come.
