PLAYER MAGAZINE review of Jinx Jones' new album:
Jinx
Jones
License to Twang
“Rockabilly is alive and well in this latest release from
San Francisco’s Jinx Jones. Replete with reverb-drenched Gretsches,
thumping upright bass, and Jones’ Setzer-esque vocals, License
to Twang captures the swingin’ vibe of rockabilly’s
classic years. Jones’ knack for stellar guitar tones and authentic
‘50’s feel is apparent on “Break the Devil’s
Heart,” which features throbbing tremolo, rapid-fire pull-offs,
and Bigsby bar bending. Likewise, his countrified “Honky Tonk
Playgirl” serves up some Bob Wills flavor with its winsome
steel guitar (courtesy of David Phillips). License to Twang is both
a feast for tone aficionados and a lovely stroll down memory lane—even
if you weren’t around in the 1950’s.”
