Lloyd Jones – Trouble Monkey (CD)

Lloyd Jones has been steadily building a reputation in the Pacific Northwest as one of the most original performing, recording, and song writing talents on the modern day blues scene. He was won eleven Muddy Awards from the Cascade Blues Association and counts Robert Cray and Bonnie Raitt among his biggest supporters. Jones describes his sound as “storytelling with a Memphis groove, kind of swamp-a-fied. It’s just good honest stories and messing with the rhythm.” Trouble Monkey serves notice Lloyd Jones is ready for prime time! “Trouble Monkey is not only one of the finest and funkiest albums of 1995, it is one of the best albums of the 1990’s. It’s intelligent and soulful mix of original blues, funk, and original R&B is unlike any bluesy you’re likely to hear.” -Blues Review. “It’s just the best damn record I’ve hear in a long time,” -Robert Cray.
