The Jones Gang


The Jones Gang 

Read their 'myspace' words below and see for yourself the amazing line up of this Band ... their talent is endless... even Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood felt compelled to join them on stage at one of their gigs... We have been very privileged to see Robert Hart (lead vocals) play a couple of solo spots at the Regal Rooms in Hammersmith SW London and apart from being one of the most down to earth people we know in this business, he puts on a great show and his voice is just wonderful...now read on..

 

These three musicians have performed on some of the most popular and critically acclaimed rock recordings of all time - including "Stay With Me," "It's Only Rock and Roll," and "Juke Box Hero," and have sold a combined 50 million records throughout their careers. With the help of some of their prestigious mates, this trio of well respected British rockers - Kenney Jones (Small Faces, The Faces, The Who), Rick Wills (Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Small Faces) and Robert Hart (Bad Company) - formed The Jones Gang and released their first album in early August 2005. Titled Any Day Now the CD was released on AAO Music's Reality label.

 

Any Day Now delivers on its pedigree. With 11 songs co-written by Hart and produced by Gary Stevenson, the album rocks hard with sweeping harmonies, well-crafted melodies and rootsy guitar riffs, and possesses the same appeal that has cemented the timelessness of their former bands.  For the recording Jones (drums), Wills (bass) and Hart (vocals) enlisted a who's who of British rock lore, including Rolling Stones' axeman Ronnie Wood (who performed on the song, Gypsy Lane" and designed the album cover), Gary Grainger (Rod Stewart, Ringo Starr), Ian McLagan (Faces), Dave "Bucket" Colwell (Bad Company), and others.  In fact, the album represents the closest reunion to either of the original lineups of the Small Faces or the Faces in recent memory.

 

The album is boosted by the tight chemistry between the members of The Jones Gang, while clearly demonstrating each of the member's signature styles. Its propulsive opener, "Time Of Your Life" is elevated by the trademark powerful drum fills Jones employed in such classics as the Small Faces' "Afterglow" and "My Way of Giving." Hart evokes the raspy soul and grit of his Bad Company days, and Wills pitches in with distinctive bass lines that were also an integral part of Peter Frampton's early solo recordings. Some tunes even pay tribute to the hazy, mind altering effects of the late '60s and early '70s, including the mid-Eastern hooked and phased choruses in "Time Of Your Life," the mid-tempo folksy whimsy of "Mr. Brown" and the country rock feel of "Hole In My Soul." What's more, scorching rockers like "Red Hot", "Lucy" and "Six To Midnight" demonstrate convincingly that these Gang members remain a potent force.
