Kacey Jones on AirPlay Direct

Jones, known for her comedy albums and hanging out with Garrison Keillor at Lake Wobegon, breaks your heart on this exquisite disc ("Kacey Jones Sings Mickey Newbury"). Country blues have never been bluer, or more eloquent, and her seen-it-all voice is the perfect match for Newbury's poignant world view. Jones honors a singular talent as only another singular talent could.

Kacey is one of roots music's players most worthy of wider recognition. After tackling the works of one great American several years ago, producing the Kinky Friedman all-star tribute, "Pearls in the Snow," she's moved on to another great American, Mickey Newbury. On this set ("Kacey Jones Sings Mickey Newbury") Jones gives Newbury the interpretation he deserves. All roots fans need to check this out. Hot stuff.

There's a long tradition of female country music-humorists, from Minnie Pearl and Judy Canova to Catherine Bach...and Kacey Jones fits right in. Bottom line: here's one Kacey who hasn't struck out.

The well-versed vocalist, famed for her work as an entertainer, songwriter, and producer, shows an eclectic range of influences...
"Every Man I Love is Either Married, Gay, or Dead" is funny stuff that is intelligent and singable.
-----Music Connetion Magazine/Los Angeles

Newbury's fabled lush lyrical talents lend themselves to Jones' lush musical interpretations. I'm not calling either of them a lush--just a union made in heaven.
-----Kinky Friedman

I can't hear "What Will I Do" without tears coming to my eyes. I'm leery of tribute albums, but this is a good one. It's nice to see an artist who understands and appreciates the soul of Newbury's songs honoring him like this. Thanks, Kacey.
