Doing some data review and wanted some good music to work to. Found something that was in the library but hadn't paid much attention to Billy Jones and his album "My Hometown". This is a modern blues, funk, soul album that reminds me of an update of Marvin Gaye's famous album "What's Goin' On" for modern times. It is a bit edgier but has a similar vibe to it. Good music, good lyrics and a good vibe to it. Gifted with a clean deep voice, Billy Jones is a singer and guitar player of powerful ideas and conviction, deeply rooted on soul and rhythm & blues tradition, besides some African influences he communicates to the audience with a personal convincing style He comes from Arkansas with clear ideas about his mission: to spread to the old and new generations his love for roots Afroamerican music that comes from his ancestors and forerunners, but especially from contemporary artists like himself You will find different influences on his music, from Ike Turner to Johnnie Taylor, Clarence Carter, Jimmy Reed or Bobby Rush Billy Jones has done an accurate selection of three professional musicians, able to do the most suitable arrangements, to make an ambitious convincing musical project.
