This is fantastic music!!! ..This is among the most well constructed, produced CDs I've heard this year.

Product Description

Called "one of the best songwriters in the indie world" by Independent Songwriter Web Magazine, JP Jones is a prolific and genre bending artist whose previous releases have charted on the folkdj-l and New Age Voice Airwaves Top-50 lists. Most recently, Back to Jerusalem was named one of the "10 Best Folk Releases of 2000" by Hugh Blumenfeld's about.folkmusic.com website. Jones' newest release, Salvation Street, is an ambitious (70+ minute) folk/rock album that strikes an elegant balance between spontaneity of performance and polish of production. The disc was recorded live in the living room of Jones' Newport, RI home and features his touring band Rite Tite (Kurt Meyer; bass, Dave Lang; drums, Mike Barrett; electric guitar and Matt Niebels; percussion) and special guest appearances by Barb Schloff-Arietta, Les Sampou, Lloyd Salisbury, Vinnie Pasternak, and Mike Fishman. Introspective at the core, Salvation Street is an honest and intense examination of Daemon and purpose. The primary subject matter is songwriting itself. After a 30-plus year career, Jones takes this stuff seriously. What's most remarkable, however, is that he manages to have so much fun along the way.

after you listen to "lovers and thugs" and presumedly find to your musical taste, this should be your next purchase in exploring the uncharted world of this artist. clever lyrics with good hooks. the music scene could use more songs/artists rather than the musical "cookie cutter" type of gruel presented to the public these days.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very well done, February 23, 2006

How come I never heard of this guy? Virtually every song has merit. Excellent production, playing and singing. Great lyrics, great sense of humour, great entertainment. I will definitely give this multiple listens.

Every once in a while, I hear music from some one that is really set apart from all the others. The craft and artistry in this CD are the result of a mature and skillfull performer. It is refreshing to hear from someone with vison rather than imitation. I had never heard of this artist until he was the opening act in my small local flok music club. I felt like I was hearing a combination of Bob Dylan, John Prine, Bill Morrisey and Bruce Springsteen with a whole lot of parts that I could not identify, except that it was very good. Buy this CD and others from JP Jones, see him if you can. IT will register as a very memorable evening.
