Album Premiere: The Bones of J.R. Jones, 'Ones to Keep Close'
May 7, 2018
Jonathon Linaberry keeps things ragged and direct on Ones to Keep Close, his third album as The Bones of J.R. Jones. Sometimes with as little instrumentation as a distorted guitar, handclaps, a distant piano and his voice, Linaberry conjures visions of smoky after-hours bars and the next morning's quiet aftermath. AllMusic favorite Nicole Atkins pops in for a guest spot on "Burden," adding a gentle lilt to the proceedings.
"I battled a lot of my own creative insecurities," Linaberry wrote of the new record. "I've never been truly satisfied with my prior releases, but because of the slow process I took on this album, every choice was painfully deliberate and intentional. I feel like this album is more me than any other prior release."
Ones to Keep Close is due out on May 11.
