Press notes

‘ Jones scats, bellows and drawls his way through ska side ‘Mellow Down Pussycat’, the devilish blues of ‘Necessary Evil’, the shiny beast-era Captain Beefheart of ‘The Way It Is’’.
4 Stars Louis Wilson , MOJO , Aug 2007

‘Scouse scenesters winning Blues/Jazz soup – It’s the sound of a man who is, in every sense, doing his own thing.’
Q Recommended Ian Harrison, Q Magazine, Aug 2007

‘ Edgar ‘Jones’ Jones is a singular character – A man apart.’
Dorian Lynskey, The Guardian, July 2007

‘Liverpool’s answer to Dr.John – should have walked away with last year’s Mercury Music Prize – A multi-talented musician.’
Paul Moody, Uncut, Oct 2007

‘ The second coming of Liverpool’s doo wopping king of hot-doggin’ rhythm and blues proved as sassy, accomplished and unique as his debut.’
No 37 in Mojo’s Top albums of 2007
