Jones jnr.

If you haven't yet been introduced to the amazing weekly segment 'Like A Version' hosted by Australian alternative youth radio station Triple J than do yourself one of the biggest musical flavors of you lifetime and chase it down on YouTube!  Each week an an artist will perform an original track followed by a cover live to air, no seconds takes, just straight up.  Honestly some of these covers are very firmly cemented in my favourate live tracks of all time.


Recently 'Thundamentals' took to the Triple J studios to perform a cover of Matt Corby's brother, Ev Jones was invited by the Hip Hop crew to performs the vocal harmonies on that track that blew all of the listener's away.  Have a listen to this before we go on.....

Now that you have an idea who Ev Jones is, it's time to introduce you all to his latest musical venture 'Jones Jnr'.  Teamed up with Thundamental's 'DJ Morgs' this unlikely duo has ventured into an even more so unlikely genre 'Gospel/soul'.      There is no question, Ev Jones has a voice that would melt the heart of a concrete statue, but combine that with a twist of a subtle beat and you have Jones Jnr!

The tracks are short but oh so sweet, soft harmonies that wouldn't be out of place in the hands of any gospel or soul greats of years gone by.  This is not an album that your going to put on before you cut loose on a night out but as a sound track romance it would have Barry White being pushed to the side of my record collection.

The album is called 'Soultape' and if you were to judge this book by it's cover I reckon you would get it just about spot on, the icing on this sugary little treat is the cost of the album - It's free!
