Modern Electric Blues, Roots, Blues-Rock

Portland, Oregon roots artist Lloyd Jones has recorded six critically acclaimed albums, toured internationally, and racked up dozens of major awards and accolades. Many roots heavyweights, not to mention legions of CD-buying fans, sing his praises. Jones is a master of the soulful understatement, the raw growl, and the groove. From his roots in muddy Oregon soil, hes forged a 30-plus-year career as an impassioned singer and fierce guitar slinger, a clever and soulful songwriter, bandleader, record producer, and an almost strident torchbearer for all thats true and good about Americas music.

A gifted singer, songwriter, guitarist and respected band leader, Lloyd Jones writes timeless music, steeped in a rich musical history learned, lived and loved over four decades. “This is not a work of science. It’s about attitude and joy that applies to all age groups. I’m addicted to this music,” declares Jones.Jones’ new CD, “Doin’ What It Takes” showcases 7 originals plus rare gems from Leiber and Stoller, Maceo Merriweather and Gerald ‘Lonnie’ Russ.

Joe Louis Walker, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, Coco Montoya and former band mate Curtis Salgado, have all recorded his songs. And Delbert McClinton sings his praises, “When I heard Lloyd Jones live for the first time in January 1999, it was like exhaling after holding my breath for fifteen years!”

He’s a musician’s musician and a crowd-pleasing, energetic showman. He’s earned every fan he has the hard way. What he does, he says, is “combine New Orleans rhythms, the simplicity of Memphis music, and the rawness of the blues, all for the 21st century. This music is not about louder and faster. It’s about time, meter, groove. I thought Muddy and Walter and those guys were pushing the envelope in their era. They were using effects, they were inventing their own sound. They were modern. I want to look at it in a contemporary way.”

Jones is a member of the Oregon Music Hall of Fame, and recipient of 31 Muddy Awards from the Cascade Blues Association, including Lifetime Achievement.

“When I heard Lloyd Jones live for the first time in January 1999, it was like exhaling after holding my breath for fifteen years!” So exults Delbert McClinton on the former’s website. In this new millennium, Portland, OR roots artist Jones is “Doin’ What it Takes” to keep the blues alive and his fans loyal. Jones, whose vocals are not dissimilar to McClinton’s, already recorded six critically-acclaimed albums, including 2003’s “Triple Trouble,” 1999’s “Love Gotcha” and 1995’s “Trouble Monkey.” On this latest release, ten high-energy blues rock and roots songs bolster his already formidable reputation. Purists may frown at Jones’ mixing of genres, but those searching for powerhouse, feel-good ensemble numbers are in for a treat. Of the eight original compositions and two covers (Leiber and Stoller’s “I’ll Be Right on Down” and Maceo Merriweather’s “Worried Life Blues”), the following three are most suitable for a party, long road trip, or frustrating work day:

Track 01: “Bend In the River”–Terry Evans’ and La Ronda Steele’s soulful background vocals on this opener give it an especially addictive quality. Pairing a philosophical message with a boogie beat–“There’ll be mountains in your pathway someday”–it invites one to reflect on life while dancing one’s blues away. Not only that, but one might be inspired to play ‘air organ’ along with Glenn Holstrom’s irresistible solo in the middle.

Track 05: “I Can’t Stop”–Teresa James performs a vivid vocal duet with Lloyd Jones on the fifth number of this album: a rock-and-roll firecracker. “Just like a habit, I’ve got to have it,” they both exclaim about each other’s affection. Percussionist Reinhardt Melz lays down a wild backbeat, and sultry saxophones by Warren Rand and Rudy Draco add an extra spark.

Track 08: “My Wife Can’t Cook”–If an entrée of “cold cuts and gravy in one big bowl” sounds like a feast from ‘Nightmare on Main Street,’ this song may hit too close to home. Rife with tongue-in-cheek jokes, it’s likely to make one lose one’s appetite, if not one’s sense of humor. “Spit it out, spit it on out,” the wife in question tells our narrator, but he’s resigned to his fate: “Guess I’m gonna eat that slop any old way.” Don’t listen to track eight around mealtime. Margaret Linn and La Ronda Steele lend their chops to the catchy chorus.

Other participants in the “Lloyd Jones Struggle” include bassist and vocalist Ben Jones, Dave Mills on trumpet, and Renato Caranto on the tenor sax solo in “I’ll Be Right on Down.”

Says Jones in the liner notes of this CD, “This ain’t JUST American Music…this is American music past, present and future! ‘Doin’ What it Takes’ means bringing it ALL to the table!” Step right up for a large and delightful helping.
