The Billy Jones Story :, North Little Rock, AR

SOUL-PATROL.com PRESS RELEASE : "As you all know, in my humble opinion, Billy Jones is one of the most compelling artists around on today's NuBlues music scene. For his latest album, he has put together a collection of his best songs on a single album called "The Billy Jones Story." This is something that I wish more artists should do with some of the outstanding music they have released and I am glad to see that Billy has taken that step. These songs are compelling at the very least because they pay homage to the blues greats, yet show a wide range of influences and musical diversity. Look for 5 or 6 of these songs to make appearances on BOTH Blues @ RadioIO.com and NuSoul @ RadioIO.com in the coming weeks. In the meanwhile, check out some of his music at any one of his numerous websites, listed below."

This cd is a compilation of 15 of my favorite songs. There are both live performances and studio recordings on this cd. The stories that I tell on this album are true, and I like to think of this project as a "from the streets" report on present-day life in the inner city. The subject matter ranges from romantic intricacies to drug addiction. It is my hope to say something that is relevant to the contemporary urban audience, and to re-introduce the young listener to the music of our heritage in a format that they can appreciate. ...it's the story of my life. This is my vision of "blues" for the 21st century. ..I hope that you will enjoy it! ...it has been a labor of love. And so I am pleased to present to you...."
