Warning!! This CD results in wicked gleeful joy!
author: Tana Treganowan Amstutz aka Sweet Betsy
Bruce Jones is an original: Dark and twisted with the political awareness of Phil Ochs, the dry grittiness of John Prine and the downhome honesty of Billy Joe Shaver. I Lied has me sitting up cackling in the middle of the night!! Trailer Trash King MUST become a video!! I see Bruce banty-walking, picking and sheepishly grinning with trashy big-haired babes hanging all over him!! [Can I be in it if I get a Dolly Parton wig and some o' them new-fangled silicone falsies?] Homeland Security is pure truth, speaks for itself and makes me sad. What strikes me the most about If I Confessed to You is my reaction to it--how can something so creepy be such a turn-on? I'm down on love songs these days but have to admit that Count on Me got to me anyway. And musically speaking, Bruce is all warm frontier comfort!!

Bruce is the bomb

I heard Bruce live first, then immediately bought the CD. Like so many artists, Bruce is (IMHO) more compelling in person. However, the impeccable production on the Flashpoint Sessions certainly lends itself to serious listening. And, of course, the format lets you go back and actually catch those clever lyrics you might have otherwise overlooked while ordering that last beer.

Great Songwriting and Inspired Musicianship
author: Bill Carrigan
I picked up this CD on the recommendation of a friend, and I have not regretted the decision one bit. I think the songwriting is fantastic, much of it is clever and makes me laugh, while other bits are emotionally resonant and though-provoking. I think the musicians on the album are fantastic, and I like the way that the songs, though all revolving around the genre of roots rock or country rock, are very different and varied.
