| For JP Jones the true lover is an incendiary radical and the faithful artist is a prophet standing against whoever or whatever enslaves the human spirit. Like Leonard Cohen's "The Future," "Back to Jerusalem" has an epic sweep both musically and lyrically, shot through with a satirical wit and unexpected tenderness. And though the poet's voice sometimes cracks, sometimes wavers, his vision never does. --Hugh Blumenfeld | |
| Most of the tracks on Back to
Jerusalem started out as MIDI files. You work with what you've got.
"Red Hot Blue," for instance, was originally composed with a computer.
Working alone has its advantages. But in the end, other players were way called
for. I'm not sure why this CD along with it's follow- up, Salvation Street,
should make such strong references to the Middle East. Something in the air. At times it feels almost that I sensed 911 coming, but I wouldn't put much weight behind that. Recorded and mixed by Lloyd Salisbury with JP Jones at Flat Rock Studios in Moosup, CT. There's been talk around here lately
about the wall Never for control, not for mastery over
our lives, --JP 2000 Mastered by David Correia at Celebration Sound. |
