Billy Jones is a guitar player, singer, and songwriter coming from San Francisco Bay Area. From a very young age he was totally interested in music, learning from artists like Little Johnny Taylor, Rufus Thomas or Larry Davis. From them he developed his own style that is nourished by influences from other musicians like Chaka Khan, Chocolate Milk or The Bar-Kays, besides skillfully mixing blues, soul and gospel as well.

In 2001 he released his first recording which has been followed by five more albums. This one has been recorded live from Harlow’s Casino in Greenville, Mississippi and captures all the energy and passion Billy Jones always communicates in all his live shows.

Each of the twelve selected songs clearly prove we are facing an artist who has remarkable vocal qualities to sing the just mentioned styles, he always does with an enormous credibility and good taste, in addition to present a precise technique on guitar and a good dose of cleverness in terms of composition. The album alternates his own songs with some versions like “Tryin’ To Get You” popularized by Elvis Presley, or well-known tunes like “Please Come Home For Christmas” coming from Charles Brown, “Barefootin'” or “Tennessee Whiskey”.

Billy Jones is on guitar and vocals, well supported by Corey Bray on keyboards and vocals, Rev. Keith Tucker on bass and Ricco Smith on drums.

Black music and especially soul and blues lovers, will appreciate Billy Jones’ skills as well as the work of the musicians who surround him, something that will easily let them immerse in the rhythms that the whole band brings us.
