_**The Billy Jones Band: 'Funky Blues & Southern Soul Vol.1'**_  
  
_Born in the deep south of United States, where segregation was present in most aspects of daily life, Billy Jones grew up in his grandfather's bar, listening to blues in different juke joints and bars. Elmore James, Big Joe Turner, Jackie Wilson, B. B. King, Muddy Waters, Sam Cooke and other great blues and soul musicians were his influences and, when he was only five years old, he already had a guitar on his hands. Soon he started to perform for the American troops, which allowed him to travel all over the world and get a wide musical experience. Now he brings us his last and excellent recording, that accurately combines blues, funk and southern soul, always with an excellent taste and class, which makes as a result an actual urban sound, perfect to attract the new generations of blues music lovers. Ten powerful songs with an amazing punch and good rhythm, where Billy Jones’ well pitched voice and excellent guitar work shine like a dazzling star, perfectly supported by Corey Bray on keyboards, Rev. "Do Dirty" Kendrix on bass and Mark Flinoil on drums. A highly recommended work. In short words, this is a superb album in many concepts._

_"..some stuff you just can't buy at your local music store._

_..absolute authenticity ..only comes from the real thing."_

_..flaming hot funky blues guitar! ..tortured Southern Soul._

_..brimstone devil notes blazing from demon possessed fingertips._

  
_**_“ Billy Jones’ ‘Funky Blues & Southern Soul - Volume 1' is, what the title already suggests, a mix of fine Southern Soul and great blues, where Billy's sometimes scorching guitar goes far beyond the qualitative average… “ - _**_

..bring the fun ..passion ..danger ..excitement ..sexuality ..mystery ..mojo and magic that you get when you hire artists that have actually traveled the Blues Highway in the Land Where The Blues Began.

Book the NEW American Bluesman & his band of Genuine Road-hardened Delta Blues Outlaws for the best time ever at your Festival, Show or Event.

_"Billy Jones brings back the Thrill. No one who I can think of has taken a truly contemporary look at traditional blues with the musical and lyrical intensity of Billy Jones. A refreshing blast of the really great sound of Healing Blues, Jazz, Funk Music. Loaded with Rich Blues Tradition. B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Even Johnny Winter Flavors. I recommend his cd 'Funky Blues & Southern Soul - volume 1' to any avid blues listener and I look forward to hearing more from the reclusive Billy Jones._

_This guy is the real deal and this is a great CD!"_

_"One of the very Best Authentic Modern Blues and Soul albums in recent memory._

_Billy Jones is a totally charismatic veteran who shows all the signs of becoming as big or bigger than Buddy Guy.

_What really got to me were the lyrics. ...it is “ Blues” ..transformed, updated and urbanized."_

_"Exquisite Modern and Traditional Blues and Neo-Soul by one of the most talented artists on the contemporary scene."_

_"This man has enormous talents. ..he has a quiet demeanor which disappears when his performance starts._

_Then he transmogrifies into an animated music machine. ..a great musician and a gifted performer. ...and a nice guy._

_"...he has a voice that will enchant you. ...his songs are oozing with sexuality. ...at times dark. ...mysterious. ...downright funky, and always compelling. ...Billy Jones is certainly his own man. ...with a show-stopping style!"_  


"...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 whatever, Billy Jones can really put some emotion into his music. ...and as I say all the time, that is what music, and especially Southern Soul music, is all about. ...each of the songs guarantees I’ll be back for more."

"I like. Super cool. Great mix of styles. ...blues and funk, with a contemporary aftertaste. Good stuff. "

"Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure."

"We are the masters of our own destiny. We are the makers of our own fate."

"Without Courage ...we cannot practice any other virtue consistently."
