Review

Accompanying himself only on guitar and rack harp JP Jones is back with his 10th CD release on Vision Company Records. Featuring ten originals, one traditional song and the mythic spoken word piece Abu, Jeremiah is at once a return to Jones' roots and a radical affirmation of the artist's relationship with God.

As a young man Jones received a Fundamentalist Christian education at Baptist Bible Seminary in Clarks Summit, PA (and earned a BA degree in music composition from Amherst College in Massachusetts). His previous album titles include Angels on the Road, Back to Jerusalem, Salvation Street and Life and Death, but Jones doesn't write Christian music. "There is a place in all of us where we transcend our regional/religious factionalism and are redeemed in our celebration of life. Reconciling these differences, that sometimes seem so huge, so important, so intractable, offers a vision that completes an otherwise impoverished view of what it means to be human," says Jones.

Recorded in January 2004 in his one-bedroom Newport, RI apartment, the songs on Jeremiah cover a broad spectrum of human emotion and circumstance and come from all corners of the songwriter's 30-plus year career. So Early, Early In the Spring is a traditional song that has been in JP's repertoire since he first heard the Judy Collins version and learned to play acoustic guitar in the late 1960s. Still Life, a previously unrecorded song, dates to the early 1970s. The disc's signature tracks, Prophet in his Prime and Jeremiah were written in the months preceding recording. Working with a PARIS digital audio workstation Jones recorded and mixed all tracks himself. There are no overdubs.
