Jake Jones - Jake Jones 1971 (USA, Psychedelic , Folk Rock)


 
In whose honor was named the group from St. Louis ( Missouri ) , history is silent , it is known that with such participant and last name in the group was not. The band released two albums on the "Kapp Records" in 1971. According to one member of the group , in 1973 ( before the collapse ) was recorded a third album , which is to be released today. One of the recent joint work of musicians was opening act at "The Eagles" and Dan Fogelberg in concert at Springfield ( Ill. ) in 1973 ...There was never an actual Jake Jones in the band. Jake Jones was just a name they chose to call themselves. Nonetheless, Jake Jones had a loyal underground following in the St. Louis area. KSHE radio was an advocate for the band playing their music often. Their self-titled debut album is mostly melodic and jamming rural country numbers that are okay, but a few tracks on this album have a proggier, more organ-driven flavor. And it's these types of songs I wish they would have explored more. This isn't a great album or a must-own, but overall I quite enjoyed it. Both the softer and the meatier. I don't think the "Jake Jones" album is rare or anything like that...but I sure don't see it very often.

There's not a lot of information floating in the clouds about the band other than being from St. Louis and releasing two albums. But member Phil Jost went on to become the assistant to Producer/Engineer Ken Scott who worked with Supertramp and David Bowie just to cherry-pick a few. And Phil was also a member of Missing Persons for a short time.

Favorites include the lightly prog-seasoned “Breathe Deep” and “I'll Be Seeing You.” The song "Trippin' Down A Country Road" has a nice feel-good vibe. Overall, "Jake Jones" feels like an AOR album. Well played but lost in the deck.
