"...his vocals are a blend of blues intensity and style with urban soul. ...incredibly soulful and funky! ...it’s as if every song chastises me for never having heard of this man or his music before now. ...a combination of multiple genres while still maintaining a great late night, urban club feel. No matter if you want to call it soul, blues, R&B or bluez, Billy Jones can really put some emotion into his music. ...at times dark, mysterious, downright funky, and always compelling. ...and as I say all the time, that is what music, and especially blues, is all about. ...
14 strong original jams comprise the debut CD for Black & Tan Records by Delta-based Blues dynamo Billy Jones. Equal parts Soul-drenched R & B, Funk and Mississippi Blues the immodestly-titled "Tha Bluez" is one of the biggest surprises of the year for me. I was familiar with Jones' merely fair (and often synthesized) independent release "Suspect For The Blues" so I wasn't expecting such a great sounding album. "Tha Bluez" has the same pent up hunger and youthful vigor that pub rocker Graham Parker had when he released his classic 1976 album "Howlin' Wind". Years of angst, sweat and tears encapsulated in a set of songs that felt like an instant "greatest hits" by an unknown artist. Parker may seem a strange reference but the way Parker brought his white hot blue-eyed R & B to the Rock world is how this Billy Jones disc enters the Blues world today (despite being 52!). It's not a new art form but a fresh amalgam of popular styles. Listen how he meshes an Eric Clapton-esque guitar lick into a sexy, falsetto-sweetened Soul song like "Come Back Tonight" or the thumping bass n' drum backbone of "I Like It Like That", followed by ominous piano, in what's a brilliant piece of minimalist Funk, then back around to the Staxy Soul Blues piledriver "Da' Cemetary Bluez" where he squeezes out some (Albert) King-sized guitar lines. Perhaps more potent is the Howlin' Wolf-meets-N'Awlins Funk on "Ain't Good Lookin'", featuring some tight drums by Gabriel Peeters. If that isn't eclectic enough for you dig his Reggae-fied "Revolution Blues", Uptown Soul "Ain't No Secret" or good ole' barroom Blues, "Barnyard Bluez". Kitchen sink too. This is as fresh sounding as anything I've heard since Johnny Guitar Watson.
