This album is amazing. I only listen to it with my bathrobe on.  Any clothes will just get in the way of truly experiencing these wornderful tunes.  So good you could weave a hammock out of the emotions you'll find yourself going through. They are both dense and catchy (i mean,the songs on float slowly and the hammock).  If you can, hear these guys live.  They'll rock you into submission.  By the end of the show, you'll offer whatever inadequate things you've ever done in your whole life at their feet.  Please, you'll say, I can't go on.  I love too much.  We've got one more, they'll say in the microphone.  And you'll listen to it and go back home and put on your bathrobe and put float slowly on your cd player and climb in your hammock and think, what did I listen to before this album?  Is there anything else?  Either way, buy the album.  It's great. Your experience might differ, but I guarantee you'll be caught off-guard by that hole in you that fills up when you hear their melodies, their sincerity, their honest-to-god ass-kicking rock and roll.

With the current state of music you could assume that most bands look and sound great through the help of producers, management, and designers.  Then through the trials of a life of live music, those that survive are able to produce/write true and genuine songs that appeal to the side of you not as concerned with how your outfit will look under black light.  Passenger Jones is the rare exception of a collection of individual musicians that produce well orchestrated, well produced, and deeply meaningful songs right out of the gate.  Vocalist Patrick Sanders' and Taylor Hildebrand's performances on this album are genius.  The songs are as well suited to relating to those struggling with addiction and heartbreak as they are to the joyous.  The album has a clear message and direction being heavily acoustic songwriter driven tunes with the perfect seasoning of cello, expressive percussion, and eletric piano/organ.  A must have for any native Mississippian needing validation that true musical arts still flourish in our fine southern state.

These guys have come together to execute an amazing album that will absolutely take you on a journey.  From beginning to end, Float Slowly is an eclectic mix of music and lyrics that could have only come from a group of talented and matriculating musicians. Whether its Taylor whaling into the mic or the resinating sound of Patrick's voice, this album is sure to please any desiring soul. Their sound has a nostalgic feel thanks to  John, Mobo, Dave and Walt and it would be impossible to ignore their roots, having come from the south with its colorful flavor . Float Slowly is a passionate album with haunting lyrics. Their emotions are raw, but their talent in this collaboration is apparent.

Passenger Jones produced an excellent debute album. This is one of those cd's that you can sit around the house a drink, very relaxing. "Float Slowly" and "Clouds Fighting" are my two favorite songs. Passenger Jones has a unique sound, I'm looking forward to hearing more about them. Anytime you add a chelo in a rock band you got my attention! Great job guys.
