BIOGRAPHY/AMG
Richard Skelly
The Freddy Jones Band are roots-rock specialists in the tradition of groups like Little Feat, the Dave Matthews Band and the Allman Brothers Band. Having grown up in Chicago, the group has no particular aversion to blues, and much of their sound could be described as solid blues rock.
The group's third album for Nashville-based Capricorn Records, North Ave. Wake-Up Call, is about their experiences on the road, criss-crossing the country in their van, supporting their two earlier releases for Capricorn, Waiting for the Night, (1993) and their self-titled debut, The Freddy Jones Band (1993), a repackaged version of the group's independently released album. Lucid followed in 1997, and two years later they returned with Mile High Live.
The group consists of Marty Lloyd, vocals and acoustic guitar, Wayne Healy, vocals and guitar, Jim Bonaccorsi, bass, Ron Bonaccorsi, guitar and vocals, and Simon Horrocks, drums. While most of the songs on North Ave. Wake-Up Call focus on the band's experiences on the road, some songs on their earlier releases explore the more traditional love won and lost themes.
The band's sound at times is reminiscent of the Allman Brothers, and they have a unique two guitar sound that is augmented by some inspired slide playing and pumping Hammond organ, furthering the comparison.

REVIEW/AMG
Tom Demalon
With their third album on Capricorn Records, the Freddy Jones Band find more focus, and the result is impressive. North Avenue Wake Up Call still retains the group's roots rock attack but manages to pay more attention to songs and lyrics. "Waitress" kicks the album off with its lyrical plight of working folks, including the song's title protagonist, over some muscular, grinding guitars. All of the quintet's members contribute music and the lyrical chores are mainly split between Wayne Healy and Marty Lloyd. Healy contributes two of the best in the dreamy wistful "Ferris Wheel" and "Rain," with guest Howard Levy adding some nice harmonica work. The bluesy vibe of "Hold on to Midnight" and the lengthy jam "Alone" will also please longtime fans.

Cub Koda
After four studio albums, it seems logical for the Freddy Jones Band to finally come out with a live release that draws upon those previous outings. The band also has developed quite a rep as a live unit around their native Chicago area and this disc goes a long way toward capturing some of that live excitement. Mile High Live draws selections from Waiting for the Night ("In a Daydream"), North Ave. Wake-Up Call and Lucid along with longtime stage favorites. The group's breakthrough smash, "Wonder," is here, along with stellar performances of "One World," "Waitress," "Take the Time" (featuring a nice percussive build-up), "Mystic Buzz," "Better Tomorrow," "The Puppet" and "Texas Skies." Armed with vocals that bear a very eerie resemblance to Marshall Crenshaw, along with enough guitar chops and jamming instincts to keep up on H.O.R.D.E. tours with the likes of Blues Traveler and Big Head Todd & the Monsters, the FJB turns in a live one here that extends their reputation as a real working band.

REVIEW/AMG
Erik Crawford
The Freddy Jones Band's fourth release on Capricorn Records, Lucid, finds them traveling down a familiar road. Tracks like the modest radio hit "Wonder" and "California" sound eerily similar to past efforts. Despite the analogous overtones, the band has again fully collaborated on a project that warrants merit and attention. All of the bandmembers made a contribution to the record, and while Wayne Healy and Marty Lloyd share most of the vocal responsibilities, lead guitarist Rob Bonaccorsi takes over on "Come on Back," a laid-back jazzy track that adds a horn section to create a vibe reminiscent of Chicago. Bonaccorsi's guitar work dominates a large portion of Lucid. Even when the band brings the intensity down a notch and drives a song like "She Said" with acoustic guitars, Bonaccorsi steps in to show off his prowess in the form of a scorching solo. Fans of the band will find comfort in the customary formulaic roots rock approach to the work, while newcomers to the band may want to start with a previous album.

REVIEW/AMG
Tom Demalon
This 1994 release by Chicago quintet Freddy Jones Band is actually a reissue of the band's debut independent offering. Led by the dual attack of singer/guitarists Marty Lloyd and Wayne Healy, with Healy also contributing the lion's share of the lyrics, the band fits snugly in with the H.O.R.D.E. bands like Blues Traveler and the Dave Matthews Band.
The studio tracks on The Freddy Jones Band are all melodic workouts highlighted by fluid guitar playing and a loose roots feel. "Peace By Piece" has a lovely, spiraling blues guitar solo and "Into the Wind' is reminiscent of Santana. There are also three live songs including "In A Daydream," which shows off the bands live energy, and the eight-minute "The Puppet," which reveals the group's penchant for on-stage jams.

REVIEW/AMG
Erik Crawford
The Freddy Jones Band's debut album, Waiting for the Night, infuses a bluesy, jam-band sound with Southern rock tendencies. "Take the Time" opens the record with a rolling acoustic guitar lick suitable for a summer drive with the top down. "The Puppet" exemplifies the band at its best, with a driving snappy drum beat, airy harmonies, and a playful electric guitar that eventually bubbles to the surface in the form of a scorching solo. The groovy folk compositions evoke a sense of euphoria and freedom that implores the listener to get lost in the music. The resplendent beauty of "In a Daydream" dreamily matches Marty Lloyd's pacifying vocals with Rob Bonaccorsi's magical guitar work. In between the customary roots rock tracks, the band manages to experiment with other genres like the guitar-laden blues song "The Other Side" and the quirky folk-country ditty "Dixie Dynamite." The Freddy Jones Band's sound is instantly identifiable, and easily accessible, proving that they are definitely onto something special.

The group's breakthrough smash, "Wonder," is here, along with stellar performances of "One World," "Waitress," "Take the Time" (featuring a nice percussive build-up), "Mystic Buzz," "Better Tomorrow," "The Puppet" and "Texas Skies." Armed with vocals that bear a very eerie resemblance to Marshall Crenshaw, along with enough guitar chops and jamming instincts to keep up on H.O.R.D.E. tours with the likes of Blues Traveler and Big Head Todd & the Monsters, the FJB turns in a live one here that extends their reputation as a real working band.

3932 - FREDDY JONES BAND - A Mile High Live (1999)

BIOGRAPHY
by Richard Skelly
The Freddy Jones Band are roots-rock specialists in the tradition of groups like Little Feat, the Dave Matthews Band and the Allman Brothers Band. Having grown up in Chicago, the group has no particular aversion to blues, and much of their sound could be described as solid blues rock.
The group's third album for Nashville-based Capricorn Records, North Ave. Wake-Up Call, is about their experiences on the road, criss-crossing the country in their van, supporting their two earlier releases for Capricorn, Waiting for the Night, (1993) and their self-titled debut, The Freddy Jones Band (1993), a repackaged version of the group's independently released album. Lucid followed in 1997, and two years later they returned with Mile High Live.
The group consists of Marty Lloyd, vocals and acoustic guitar, Wayne Healy, vocals and guitar, Jim Bonaccorsi, bass, Ron Bonaccorsi, guitar and vocals, and Simon Horrocks, drums. While most of the songs on North Ave. Wake-Up Call focus on the band's experiences on the road, some songs on their earlier releases explore the more traditional love won and lost themes.
The band's sound at times is reminiscent of the Allman Brothers, and they have a unique two guitar sound that is augmented by some inspired slide playing and pumping Hammond organ, furthering the comparison.

REVIEW
by Tom Demalon
With their third album on Capricorn Records, the Freddy Jones Band find more focus, and the result is impressive. North Avenue Wake Up Call still retains the group's roots rock attack but manages to pay more attention to songs and lyrics. "Waitress" kicks the album off with its lyrical plight of working folks, including the song's title protagonist, over some muscular, grinding guitars. All of the quintet's members contribute music and the lyrical chores are mainly split between Wayne Healy and Marty Lloyd. Healy contributes two of the best in the dreamy wistful "Ferris Wheel" and "Rain," with guest Howard Levy adding some nice harmonica work. The bluesy vibe of "Hold on to Midnight" and the lengthy jam "Alone" will also please longtime fans.

REVIEW
by Erik Crawford
The Freddy Jones Band's fourth release on Capricorn Records, Lucid, finds them traveling down a familiar road. Tracks like the modest radio hit "Wonder" and "California" sound eerily similar to past efforts. Despite the analogous overtones, the band has again fully collaborated on a project that warrants merit and attention. All of the bandmembers made a contribution to the record, and while Wayne Healy and Marty Lloyd share most of the vocal responsibilities, lead guitarist Rob Bonaccorsi takes over on "Come on Back," a laid-back jazzy track that adds a horn section to create a vibe reminiscent of Chicago. Bonaccorsi's guitar work dominates a large portion of Lucid. Even when the band brings the intensity down a notch and drives a song like "She Said" with acoustic guitars, Bonaccorsi steps in to show off his prowess in the form of a scorching solo. Fans of the band will find comfort in the customary formulaic roots rock approach to the work, while newcomers to the band may want to start with a previous album.

After four studio albums, it seems logical for the Freddy Jones Band to finally come out with a live release that draws upon those previous outings. The band also has developed quite a rep as a live unit around their native Chicago area and this disc goes a long way toward capturing some of that live excitement. Mile High Live draws selections from Waiting for the Night ("In a Daydream"), North Ave. Wake-Up Call and Lucid along with longtime stage favorites.

Led by the dual attack of singer/guitarists Marty Lloyd and Wayne Healy, with Healy also contributing the lion's share of the lyrics, the band fits snugly in with the H.O.R.D.E. bands like Blues Traveler and the Dave Matthews Band.
The studio tracks on The Freddy Jones Band are all melodic workouts highlighted by fluid guitar playing and a loose roots feel. "Peace By Piece" has a lovely, spiraling blues guitar solo and "Into the Wind' is reminiscent of Santana. There are also three live songs including "In A Daydream," which shows off the bands live energy, and the eight-minute "The Puppet," which reveals the group's penchant for on-stage jams.

BIOGRAPHY
by Richard Skelly
The Freddy Jones Band are roots-rock specialists in the tradition of groups like Little Feat, the Dave Matthews Band and the Allman Brothers Band. Having grown up in Chicago, the group has no particular aversion to blues, and much of their sound could be described as solid blues rock.
The group's third album for Nashville-based Capricorn Records, North Ave. Wake-Up Call, is about their experiences on the road, criss-crossing the country in their van, supporting their two earlier releases for Capricorn, Waiting for the Night, (1993) and their self-titled debut, The Freddy Jones Band (1993), a repackaged version of the group's independently released album. Lucid followed in 1997, and two years later they returned with Mile High Live.
The group consists of Marty Lloyd, vocals and acoustic guitar, Wayne Healy, vocals and guitar, Jim Bonaccorsi, bass, Ron Bonaccorsi, guitar and vocals, and Simon Horrocks, drums. While most of the songs on North Ave. Wake-Up Call focus on the band's experiences on the road, some songs on their earlier releases explore the more traditional love won and lost themes.
The band's sound at times is reminiscent of the Allman Brothers, and they have a unique two guitar sound that is augmented by some inspired slide playing and pumping Hammond organ, furthering the comparison.

REVIEW
by Erik Crawford
The Freddy Jones Band's debut album, Waiting for the Night, infuses a bluesy, jam-band sound with Southern rock tendencies. "Take the Time" opens the record with a rolling acoustic guitar lick suitable for a summer drive with the top down. "The Puppet" exemplifies the band at its best, with a driving snappy drum beat, airy harmonies, and a playful electric guitar that eventually bubbles to the surface in the form of a scorching solo. The groovy folk compositions evoke a sense of euphoria and freedom that implores the listener to get lost in the music. The resplendent beauty of "In a Daydream" dreamily matches Marty Lloyd's pacifying vocals with Rob Bonaccorsi's magical guitar work. In between the customary roots rock tracks, the band manages to experiment with other genres like the guitar-laden blues song "The Other Side" and the quirky folk-country ditty "Dixie Dynamite." The Freddy Jones Band's sound is instantly identifiable, and easily accessible, proving that they are definitely onto something special.
