It is really a great album from a great band.

I got the cd before it came out because I am friend of Dave Deitch's family and all I can say is that I love it. I think it has a unique blend of powerful vocals, haunting percussion, and great catchy tunes.

Jones One CD Review from "The Noise" Magazine
author: David Deitch
Jones One's sound is hard to describe. They say on their bio sheet it encompasses everything "from Stevie Wonder to Coldplay, from Allman Brothers to Elton John" and that works for me, because the entire band is exceedingly talented. Guitarist Evan Brown switches from B.B. King to Nuno Bettencourt within a measure's time during one solo. Dave Deitch is up there with Carter Beauford (DMB) on drums and the Victor Wooten-style bass work by Chris Griffiths is phenomenal. Jeff Ginsburg's voice sounds like Rob Thomas but with twice the range and imagination. He's a fine piano player and does a great job on the lyrics: (Bring me a blank piece of paper/ make it blank so I can write down all that I want about you/ Bring me a black pen---no make it blue/ I know that's your favorite color too). Apologies for the long quote, but I can't really pull one line out and do it justice, and that's one of the reasons it works so well. It's a very casual and effortless style that blends well with their music. I'd recommend this album to anyone who likes to hear superb musicians play, whether it's jam band blues or pretty pop songs. (Erich Hagan, "The Noise" October 2003)

A good CD with some great tunes
author: Dagnabbit
Jones One has one of those sounds that has a ton of great ideas in each of their songs. They float from a straight ahead song to a jammy tune, to an all out rocking tour-de-force. Songs like "Find Out" have a lot of unforgettable hooks and riffs. Good CD with some great tunes.
