NEW CD - Bluelisted:
Featuring Little Charlie Baty, Junior Watson, Richard Innes,
Larry Taylor... with liner notes by Dan Aykroyd
It's not even released yet, and the phone is ringing off-the-hook from clubs, festivals, and radio stations foaming at the mouth for this highly anticipated release. Festival directors want to see the bands high energy stage show that receives rave reviews across the globe, and the House of Blues Radio Hour has called Jones on his Australian tour for an interview as per the request of Hollywood celebrity, Mr. Aykroyd himself.
People have been asking for a more "guitar driven" JW-Jones album for years... and now is the time. Guest stars Little Charlie Baty and Junior Watson are on board marking the first time the two most innovative blues guitarists to surface in the last three decades have played together on the same tracks. This has been called "a recording of historical importance".
Arguably the world's greatest blues rhythm section, Richard Innes on drums and Larry Taylor on bass thicken the groove with the experience of over 500 recordings combined.
The "usual suspects" that tour with the band are on half of the recording -
Jesse Whiteley (keys), Jeff Asselin (drums), and Martin Régimbald (bass).
Mike St-Jean joins in on backup vocals and Martijn Lewis puts down a great solo
on "Mad About You" while Frank Scanga provides some fat baritone for texture.
Plus the band is very excited to announce (another) collaboration with Hollywood Celebrity fan and friend, Dan Aykroyd. The original blues brother has written the CD liner notes for the upcoming release.
Even though Aykroyd is a household name, and people
know him from his most famous movie and television
roles (Blues Brothers, Ghostbusters, Pearl Harbor, and
95 Episodes of Saturday Night Live), he is also well
respected in the industry for his writing talents as the mastermind behind the Blues Brothers, Ghostbusters, Coneheads, and more.
An excerpt from the liner notes says "JW's pure, honest singing plus guitar stars sprinkled throughout on crisp covers and cool originals make this record a yellow dot must-buy addition to the catalog for his fans and for new enthusiasts who are getting to know him."
This record is definitely special, and with the help of Mr. Aykroyd, it has just gone to the next level.
