With 20 years of Paul Jones from his buddy Brian Jones (no relation by marriage) asked if he wanted to be a singer in his new band. Instead, Paul chose the job at a dance band. Brian met Mick and Keith and it was probably the oldest rock and roll band The Rolling Stones. Paul Jones was staggered a short time later to Manfred Mann. "Do Wah Diddy," "Pretty Flamingo," "Sha La La" was not least his voice to Hits of the 60's. With its "Blues Band" he has since the 70s in the studio and on tour. On BBC2 he hosts a radio show with a weekly dose "rhythm and blues tunes, combining classics, new releases, sessions and occasional interviews". After 19 albums with Jones puts "Starting all over again" his third solo album. R & B, gospel, soul and blues are dominant styles on the latest CD of the now 67-year-old Englishman. His backing band consists mainly of Americans with guitarist Jake Andrews from Austin, keyboardist Mike Thompson and the fan group consisting of Joe Sublett and Ernie Watts. After "Lover to Cry" and "If you love me" is "Choose or crop out" the first song of my attention awakens. Clapton guitar licks dancing on Thompsons wide Hammondteppich. The highlight of the CD: Jones' harmonica solo leads into Clapton's guitar solo. More of them would have done the work. Sundown in "Jazzy and bluesy" style with double bass and piano, "I'm Gone" swinging with "stuffed" trumpet and inspired piano solo. Roadhouse piano, harmonica and blues guitar: Jones' Boggie by Van Morrison's "Philosophers Stone". "Still true" Stax-inspired soul and gospel. Percy Sledge brilliant as Jones' congenial singing partner in "Big Blue Diamonds". "Starting all over again", a CD of blues and R & B with friends Soul, Swing and Gospelingredenzien.
