| About JJ Ford | What is hard to bear, is often sweet to remember. It goes without saying that songwriting is a lifelong study of the human condition. Invariably our toughest lessons become concepts for expression. Such lessons shared through music become songs. JJ Ford's new album "Performance Jones" is just such an expression. Country, Rockin, Bluesy, Folk Rock, Pop and even Cowboy Reggae may define the music, but only our dreams can define the possibilities . . . Official Press Release: Los Angeles, March 17, 2012 /PRWeb/ -- Country Rocker JJ Ford's debut album "Performance Jones" has been characterized as "Americana Rock" and may evoke comparisons to the forceful vocals of Fogarty and Springsteen combined with musical influences of singer/songwriters Dave Alvin and Steve Earle. The album is recorded by Tyson Leonard ("Tropo", "Black Box Studio") and co-produced by Tyson Leonard and JJ Ford. Noted Music Producer, George Nauful (Mesa/Blue Moon Recordings), takes a break from his typical roles to sit in as lead guitarist on this project. George's creative leads are both powerful and soulful, befitting the thoughtful stories told through JJ's lyrics. JJ's album defies singular categorization and includes a range of genres from the twangin' country track "Heart With A Hole", featuring masterful fiddle work by Tyson Leonard, to the psychobilly "Performance Jones", to the popular cowboy reggae track "Composition Of Starlight". The album has received airplay on "Jango Radio" and the band will present the new album at a CD Release show this summer in San Francisco and San Luis Obispo, CA. JJ Ford is available for phone interview.
