Enthralling Jones at Living Room

Diana Jone's was enthralling last night at the Living Room where the Nashville-based singer and songwriter channeled a by-gone Appalachia. You can love songs on record, but there's just no substitute for watching as words pour out of a pure-voiced singer's mouth...I was entranced with Jone's plaintive singing and lyrical gift for a story. You must listen (carefully please) to Henry Russell's Last Words right now!

Diana's set was mostly drawn from her new Better Times Will Come (May 19 on Proper American), a quiet, searching album that's already making big waves in the UK.

Here's me (left) with Diana and radio guru Brad Hunt, and below that with Proper honcho Lisa Best.
