The Lonely Jones is made up of sisters Jane and Lu Lu Jones, brother Bennie Jones, father Luther Jones, and cousins Midnight and Jimmie Jones. The music is rooted in Rock,Blues, Country, Cold Brews, the glow of the golden moon, and the crackle of the country campfire.
"So, while parts of the new CD, "The Life of the Lonely Jones," retain a distinctive, light-hearted, acoustic Potato Moon flavor, several tracks --"Morphine," "Moonlight," "Big Highway" -- venture into dramatic new territory with striking rock guitar leads by Midnight Jones (Mike Sullivan), pulsating, driving drumwork by Jimmie Jones (Jimmy Schultz), and Ben's dark lyrics and moody music." -- John Sinkevics ~ Grand Rapids Press
"This album is the folk members of Potato Moon looking into funhouse mirrors, shocked by their true identity. The music is moody, the lyrics are dark."
--
Jay Ridenfeller ~ MOJO Magazine

Never heard of these guys until I heard them live at the Blissfest in Harbor Springs Mi. in '06. They absolutely rocked that show and I'd love to see them live again, but I live in Ohio so the CDs will have to do. I've been sending their CDs to family and friends at Christmas every year since. The music never gets old and each time I listen it takes me back to that first time I heard them. I have no clue why they're. not a nationally recognized hit group by now.

Diverse!

You know how with some albums, even if you love the first few songs, you're kind of bored by the end because it's all so very similar. Not a problem with this album! There's an wonderful variety of style, tempo, and voice and it's all such excellent music.

In only takes one word to say what makes this CD fantastic ... vocals. The Joneses can SING!!! Complex harmonies overlay straightforward chordal forms and driving riffs, and the effect is both pleasant and chilling at the same time. Excellent music!!!
