Lloyd Jones
FR-704
All at Referene Recordings are excited by our next fresh! release, “Doin' What It Takes” from Portland, Oregon's multi-talented Lloyd Jones and the full and funky Lloyd Jones Struggle!
A gifted singer, songwriter, guitarist and respected band leader, Lloyd writes timeless music, steeped in a rich musical history learned, lived and loved over four decades. “This is not a work of science. It's about attitude and joy that applies to all age groups. I'm addicted to this music”, declares Jones. The new CD showcases 7 originals plus gems from Leiber and Stoller, Maceo Merriweather and Lonnie Russ.
Delbert McClinton sings his praises: “When I heard Lloyd Jones live for the first time in January 1999, it was like exhaling after holding my breath for fifteen years!”
Joe Louis Walker, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, Coco Montoya and former band mate Curtis Salgado, have recorded his songs. Lloyd is a musicians' musician and a crowd-pleasing, energetic showman.
A member of the Oregon Music Hall of Fame, and recipient of 31st Muddy Awards from the Cascade Blues Association, including Lifetime Achievement, Lloyd has 6 albums as a leader. His most recent, “Highway Bound” (a self-released, solo project) has been savored and shared by blues broadcasters and audiences across the U.S.A.
