Album Notes

Brian Lynn Jones is a country boy from Oklahoma. Singing since he could talk, music has always been an important part of his life. He grew up listening to a vast array of music, with country being his family's favorite. A steady diet of George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Charlie Rich, Merle Haggard, Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn, Tom T. Hall, Buck Owens, Johnny Cash, Porter Wagoner, Dolly Parton, Charlie Pride, David Allen Coe, and Glen Campbell as well as rock and pop artists, Bruce Springsteen, Cheap Trick, Kiss, The Pretenders, REO Speedwagon, The Who, and of course Elvis Presley amongst countless others, filled the airwaves in his family's home and cars.

Starting with the piano and trombone, a bass and guitar finally became the love of his life. You can feel his soul in his bass lines and in his music.

As a lad in Oklahoma, Brian played in numerous bands, often composing many of the original songs himself. By the age of 16, he was in the number one band in Oklahoma, as voted by JAM Magazine. The two years following brought the same accolades with his follow-up bands. Yearning for greener pastures, Brian moved to Southern California, where he has been entertaining ever since. Ever the performer, the year 2000 found Brian traveling the country with the Radio Disney Band, and the self penned 'Don't Come Back Cryin' To Me' on the popular daytime soap All My Children. Not too shabby!

He is ever the free spirit, and always up for a good/wild time. He is neither Angel nor Devil, but wears his halo somewhere around his waist like a belt. He is a good man with a boy's sense of wonder and awe at the world and life around him. Taking it all in to create the music he does.

The prolific writer and performer, Brian has released a much-awaited project, "Brian Lynn Jones and The Misfit Cowboys". Having written or co-written most of the tunes on the project, it is a sure bet that this CD will win the hearts of America.
