Jeff Jones “Spaced CD Review in Rock Report “ ..we’re dealing with a multi talented musician…”
Jeff Jones is, as you might know, not only the label head of XXX Records but also a former member of melodic hard rock outfit St. Elmo’s Fire, hair metallers Vamp Le Stat and punk/trash duo Keester. Besides recording and releasing albums with the bands mentioned he put out a first solo offering entitled “Ride” in 1995.
Last year mister Jones found the time to piece together the follow up to his 15 year old solo debut and along with copies of “Rockhard ‘86-‘96” and VLS “Bloodline”, he sent us “Spaced”, a collection of 12 songs all written, recorded, produced, mixed and engineered by Jeff. Which goes to show that we’re dealing with a multi talented musician. The one thing that stands out on this disc is Jeff’s tasty blues tinged guitar .
Best songs in the package are the ZZ Top styled opener “Queen Of Hollywood” and the uptempo “Not Your Love”. (see also Vamp Le Stat, Rockhard, Keester, St. Elmo’s Fire)
