Available now on Solid Blues Records (distributed by Stony Plain Records)

Don’t let his model good looks fool you. Canadian guitarist and songwriter JW Jones is as capable of capturing the essence of the blues as the most been-through-the-ringer-looking artist you could ever imagine. He has complete control of his gifts and he has an impeccable intuitive sense of when (and how and how much) to release those talents in a song. His new album, Everything Now, successfully explores new ways to extend the power and reach of Blues Roots music.

Everything Now is JW-Jones’ 11th studio album since his 2000 debut, Defibrillatin. On it, he departs from any expected blues sound, instead using surprising chord changes, rhythms, and lyric complexities to convey the stories being shared. This is Jones’s 12th release and it delivers 11 tracks that cover plenty of emotional and intellectual territory, all of them spot-on when it comes to establishing each song’s necessary vibe.
