    PURCHASE 'THE BLACK PATH' ON ITUNES! CLICK THE LINK BELOW! .......... .. .. .. .. .. ............ .. .. ...... .. "By now, everybody knows the story about Mr. Matt Jones drinking an A&R guy into the gutter (literally) at last year’s SXSW. But what many Detroiters might not realize is that Jones — besides being Ann Arbor’s go-to sideman for all things folk and chamber pop, playing in such luminaries as Misty Lyn and The Big Beautiful, Elm From Arm, and Dabenport — is perhaps one of our state’s best examples of nimble-finger guitar plucking and delicately sung laments. Ex-pat Sufjan Stevens should watch his ass." ..- Ryan Allen (Detour, 3/4/09) .. ..Detour.. .. .. "By the end of the year, hopefully, Detroit will know what Ann Arbor has known for a few years: Matt Jones is a genius. That's when he'll finally self-release his album The Black Path. It's a beautifully produced and arranged folk-chamber pop record that shares a lot in common with Ann Arbor compatriots Chris Bathgate and Great Lakes Myth Society." ..- Doug Coombe (Metro Times, 10/22/2008) .. ..Motor City Cribs.. .. .. .. "Some rare singers have the gift to captivate at first notes, this is Matt Jone’s case. But this initial attraction is progressively converted into a complete addiction as Matt is offering more than just a great songwriting ability. His unique voice - which could sometimes could be compared to Tom Brosseau - is a perfect match on his rich acoustic concept.".. - ..You Crazy Dreamer.. .. .. .. "He has a really pleasant voice with a slightly haunting quality to it. His way of singing is much like his way of playing guitar - loose, easy going and almost playful at times. The haunting quality of his voice and the wistful guitar come together to create music that is honestly beautiful." ..- ..Guilt Free Pleasure.. ..

    I just saw you a few days ago at Pete's up in Williamsburg. It was a great show, I just wish I wasn't so far in the back. Anyway, you have a fantastic sound. I'll do my best to come up to a show in Michigan, though a show around Cleveland would be great :)

    THANK YOU from The Kansas City Fake Mustache Club.  Merlin (now having found her soul-mate - is trying to learn some Bruce Springsteen).  And Simon is looking for his Michigan shoulder perch.

    I must say that it was great meeting you both at the Garage in Winston-Salem, and a huge treat to have you back at Finnigans the next night!  I have been listening to "the black path" nonstop since then and wish you both the best of luck in all of your endeavors!  I will surely have to catch a show if I am ever visiting MI!  Merry Christmas!
