Chuck Jones stopped in 'Cruces for about an hour last summer on his way west from Nashville - long enough to leave me with his first disc, "The Southpaw Jones Starter Kit," and said he'd be back. True to his word, he returned a few weeks ago to play a 3-hour gig at Spirit Winds Cafe and promote his latest 'quirk folk' offerings. This new disc is remarkable (self-evident, eh? This review would constitute 'remarks.') - this critter was recorded on a 4-track rig on someone's front porch in rural Tennessee. Listen for the passing cars, dogs barking, screen door opening, etc. The material is somewhat darker than that on his first disc, but if it's kinda sad, it's fantastically so. The lonely songs are really lonely, and the lost/unrequited love songs will tear your heart out.
Power tracks include: "Freshly-Picked Flower," "Slab of Pie," and "Living off Interest."
