InfluencesBooking Info : billyjonesbluez@aol.com Taking Blues to New Places with R&B, Soul, and Urban Style : "Exquisite Modern and Traditional Blues and Neo-Soul by one of the most talented artists on the contemporary scene. Billy Jones is a young, genius-level, totally charismatic veteran who shows all the signs of becoming as big or bigger than Buddy Guy. This young man has enormous talents. I recently witnessed a 2-song DVD by Billy and his band that just added to my excitement regarding this on-stage dynamo who boasts movie-star good looks, a Huge voice, great guitar-playing and a Hot repertoire of tunes. All tracks were written by Billy ...and what a voice! With Billy Jones showing so many talents and covering every single genre close to Blues, the Man is a ‘can’t miss’ star-in-the-making…No wait, he’s not in-the-making…He’s made! If a major U.S. label doesn’t scoop up this high-level Blues genius within the next 3-4 months then we’re all in trouble! But, whatever happens, No One is going to keep a lid on Billy Jones. He’s off on-a-rocket folks and we certainly need a Big Blues talent like his." "One of the very Best Authentic Modern Blues and Soul albums in recent memory." http://www.realbluesmagazine.com/ http://myspace.com/billyjonesbluez ...bluez from the ghetto ...bluez for the ghetto : "Billy Jones is one of the ‘good guys’. He is a young man from Arkansas who is truly interested in advancing and extending ‘Great Black Music' from the Ancient to the Future’ and making sure that it is available for future generations. As such he is one of my personal musical heroes. We don’t have enough artists like him and hopefully he is going to inspire others. Updating the blues for the 21st century is not an easy matter... Billy Jones has managed it. Think Bobby Womack with Curtis Mayfield's social conscience and you are getting close. Perhaps the most important thing to note is that his sound is more acceptable to modern ears and maybe that will get more people to listen to his message. Jones has a voice that will enchant you. This is a fine, soulful album. It's a first person rumination about "growing up in the ghetto" that packs a poignant wallop. The message is deep and heartfelt... lyrically-inspired Contemporary R&B." http://www.Soul-Patrol.com http://www.blackplanet.com/billyjonesbluez The Incredible Resurrection, Metamorphosis and Re-invention of Blues and Soul Music : No one who I can think of, except perhaps James “Blood” Ulmer, has taken a truly contemporary look at traditional blues with the musical and lyrical intensity of Billy Jones. While Ulmer’s music is often dark and angry, Jones takes a more restrained and soulful approach while still expressing deep love, despair, and other intense feelings with his music. Musically, there is a mix of styles on the CD. Jones can hammer out some hard, driving blues or go more traditional in his approach. But what really got to me were the lyrics. There are several songs where Billy gets into the urban problems of his "hometown." The modern, urban blues lyrics start right from the beginning of the CD. He starts out with some slow jam/blues in a ballad called “Here With You”. He sings of how deep his love is: “your love is much warmer than my prison cell, so if the homies ride tonight I think I’m gonna stay right here”. With the second track, “Pull My 44”, Jones sings of a jealous lovers' rage. He describes his lovers' beauty and talks about how he’s jealous and if “I catch you messin’ wit’ my woman, Man I’m mo’ pull my 44”. The music has a Mississippi Delta component to it, yet it is modern and urban. Later, we hear “Crystal”; this is a semi-psychedelic rocking song about his addiction and the dangers of Crystal. It’s not a girlfriend named Crystal, but crystal methamphetamine. In the title track, “My Hometown’, Jones talks frankly about the problems in the ghetto. Schools not teaching you what to do, gangs, violence, meth labs, broken families, and a repressive system all become part of these modern blues. Jones goes a more traditional R&B route with music and lyrics in cuts like “Right Now” and "Never Let You Go”. The deep bass notes driving the beat and his vocals are a throwback to an older soul era where he sings of loves won and lost. In “The Clown” Billy goes to his guitar and sweetly bends some notes to punctuate the song about his lost love, where he states “and girl for you I’m just a clown.” Top to bottom, this is a nice little CD. Jones calls his music “Bluez” and sings about the problems of his life and hometown with heart and feeling; it is “blues” transformed, updated and urbanized. This North Little Rock, Arkansas musician is the real deal and “my Hometown” is a great CD! http://crossroadsreviews.blogspot.com/ http://billyjonesbluez.hyves.net/ http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=551528789

HOW IS IT THAT BIG STARS GET TO PERFORM IN BIG SHOWS WELL IT STARTS WITH ME IN THE CENTRAL COAST
Hello People's We all know in the "REAL WORLD" it takes $MONEY$ to make $MONEY$ and the same goes for breaking into the mainstream of professional music scene meaning you can sit around forever waiting to be discovered being on the A-train to nowhere performing @ local shows and if you're lucky enough and can afford the expenses time after time  the city are town next door .Without actually getting known and a fare shake in your musical career I want to be a ROCK STAR DREAM's deminished. Well those days are over.I just been Pegged by a Executive of Universal Domestic and International talent distributorship to provide a avenue for Talent that is ready to go to next Level of Business and getting there music into the right hands of mainstrem potential market oppurtunitys here nationally and internationally. Most of you might know of John Simms exceutive for interscope indepentdent distributorship he recently visited here during The Turf talk show about 6 months ago I gave him a tour of are growing musical interest groups and clubs he is interested in all genres of music i.e. ROCK,Alternative, HEAVY METAL,COUNTRY
 HIP HOP/RAP,  R&B,REGGAE  He is now working with Universal (RECORDS) new talent research department which alllows performers to get involved by investing in themselves and working together in management, distribution, marketing, and other musical stratagies to move forward and beyond the snail pace that most up and coming artist have to deal with whether Commercial or independent distrbution when approaching are being approched by lame market producers. So if you're interested in continue progress of your dreams or your managing others dreams with artists attached then you need to get at me before the list and the line gets long always looking out for you the STAR!!!!
