Houston Jones: Queen of Yesterday
CD Review By David Wiegand

RATING: (WILD APPLAUSE)
"You may not think a band with traditional bluegrass instrumentation and guys who've been around the musical block more than a few times could remain fresh, much less grow even better with each new CD. But when it comes to the Bay Area band Houston Jones, think it. I first got turned on to the band with "Calico Heart" two CDs ago, but the group's new one, "Queen of Yesterday," is in a class by itself. The band includes Travis Jones on lead vocals and guitar; Glenn Houston on lead guitar and background vocals; Chris Kee on bass, guitar, cello and background vocals; Peter Tucker, percussion and background vocals; and Henry Salvia, keyboards, accordion and vocals. Houston Jones will celebrate the release of "Queen" on Saturday at Freight & Salvage. And it's a CD worth celebrating."

"What's amazing about the band is its incredible versatility, From the bluesy swing of "Angels on the Ridgepole" to the urban jazz sound of the streets of Oakland embodied in "Calamity Jane" to the gentle acoustic ballad "I Found a Heart," the electric and electrifying title track and the bar-at-closing-time sad classicism of "Lost in the Crowd," this is a confluence of sublime talent."
