Chris Jones
Chris Jones is a talented DJ, songwriter, a fine singer, and a top notch bandleader. This budget series CD is a combination retrospective and “best of”, which also presents four previously unreleased songs from the singers' earlier recordings with Rebel. This album features a first-rate line-up of the Night Drivers, his backing band, that included Ned Luberecki on banjo, Jon Weisberger on bass, and Mark Stoffel on mandolin. Highlighting the collection are two wonderful songs written by Tom T. and Dixie Hall: "The Man By The Side Of The Road" and the poignant "A Hero In Harlan." Other standouts are neat versions of "Whispering Now," Gordon Lightfoot’s "Ribbon Of Darkness," and the Delmore Brothers’ "Nashville Blues."
