2006 (11 songs, total running time 57:56) Ten months in the making, Magical Thinking features songs written in three different decades and marks Jones’ return to a more fully-produced sound. An eclectic set with crystalline production, each song is given a unique and compelling musical treatment. Jones tackles jazz, folk and blues, leads with the Springsteen-esque anthem A Man Stands Up and closes the disc with a new recording of his 1976 epic (14:54) story song titled The Fire and The Rose. Led by the world-class rhythm section of Marty Ballou (Bass) and Vinny Pagano (drums), guest musicians include a host of Jones’ friends and past collaborators including a 3-song cameo by blues legend Paul Geremia.

2005 (12 songs, total running time 42.40) With Jones' 11th CD release (and his second solo-acoustic endeavor) the listener is brought closer than ever before to the songwriter's process. For the most part these songs were self-recorded just as they were written, often on the same day. What results is a powerful and passionate record painted with a poet's brush in dark images of despair and bright redemption. "Thugs and Lovers' should be on many "best of 2005" lists. It will be on mine." - Kevin McCarthy, Kevin's Celtic and Folk CD reviews. (Catalog # 222005, UPC 783707059907) Download from iTunes | |

2004 (11 songs, one spoken word piece, total running time approx. 58 min. ) Recorded in December 2003 and January 2004, Jeremiah is Jones' first totally solo - 100% acoustic - release. Accompanying himself only on guitar and rack harp, Jones serves up one traditional song and ten new originals as well as the mythic short story Abu. The discs' signature song, Prophet in His Prime, provides insight into the poets' vision and sets the tone for what is to be one remarkable disc.

2003 (11 songs, total running time 47:10) Recorded live in January 2003 at Lloyd Salisbury's Flat Rock studios in Moosup, CT with 7-piece back-up band Rite Tite, Life and Death is JP's best and most diverse collection of songs to date. Rite Tite tackles it all: punk to folk to funk and jazz, but what unites the disc is its vision of opposites: black and white, beauty and ugliness, birth, death, sex and salvation. Life and Death leaves nothing out and stays focused on what endures. (Catalogue # 031703, UPC 783707702629) Download from iTunes | |

2001 (16 songs, total running time 70:10) Recorded live in the living room of Jones' tiny Newport, RI home, Salvation Street features Jones' touring band Rite Tite (Kurt Meyer; bass, Dave Lang; drums, Mike Barrette; electric guitar and Matt Neibels; percussion) and special guest appearances by Les Sampou, Barb Schloff-Arietta, Vinnie Pasternak and Mike Fishman. A folk/rock recording that doesn't forget to rock, the disc is savagely introspective at the core examining the artist's relationship with Daemon and purpose.

2000 (11 songs and a sound collage, total running time 48:32) Expertly crafted songs with arrangements first sketched out as midi files then layered with acoustic overdubs, Back to Jerusalem is a diverse and stunning, close-to-pop collection that was named one of the "ten best folk releases of 2000" by Hugh Blumenfeld's about.folkmusic.com website. First and foremost a songwriter's record, Jones brings grace and conviction to each performance while setting each piece in a brilliant and uniquely produced soundscape.

1999 (11 songs, total running time 50:54) Dark and powerful throughout, Ashes is a stellar production featuring a spiritual soul and variety of musical styles from Alternative Pop to Solo-Acoustic story songs. Backed by some of the best acoustic musicians in Southern New England, Jones weaves intense, haunting tales of trial and redemption. A fine and fully realized disc from a mature songwriter.

1998 (15 songs, total running time 71:25) A 25-year retrospective of previously unreleased songs, Angels on the Road was recorded live (in studio) in three days during September 1998. Jones draws favorable comparisons with early Dylan and showcases the epic scope of a master story-teller with this release featuring the white-hot studio work of Vinnie Pasternak on fiddle, Mike Fischman on mandolin, Kurt Meyer on fretless bass, and Steve Tavares on drums.

1997 (13
instrumental compositions, total running time 44:10) Composed entirely
on computer,
Bard maintains a traditional, sometimes Celtic and occasionally
Classical feel despite borrowing heavily from the verse/chorus format
of the modern-day pop song. With grief as its emotional core, Bard
is challenging, yet accessible music unlike anything expected from a
contemporary singer/songwriter.
