JW JONES, the International Blues Challenge winner (2017) and JUNO Award Nominee and Billboard Top 10 blues guitarist and singer-songwriter, will release his new album “High Temperature” on Solid Blues Records via Proper Distribution in the UK and Europe on Friday 20th October 2017.
The album release corresponds with an 18-date nationwide UK tour starting at the Worthing Pavillion on Thursday 23rd November. [full list below video]
“High Temperature” is the follow-up to JW’s JUNO Award nominated 2014 album “Belmont Boulevard” which was nominated for a Maple Blues Award, and held the #1 position on Canadian roots radio stations for 13 weeks.
“High Temperature” was produced by Nashville-based Colin Linden. Linden is an eight time JUNO and GRAMMY Award winner, the musical director for hit TV series “Nashville” and has produced albums for many iconic Canadian musicians including Bruce Cockburn and Colin James.
On the new LP, Linden takes JW into new territory with warm, analog-driven tones, and a wide-range of material. JW’s evolution as a musician and vocalist shines through like never before.
“JW is ready to take his place among the greater blues-based musicians of the 21st century,” says Linden. “It’s an absolute pleasure to have worked on the new album...”
