LLoyd Jones, born in Potland (OR) in 1950, started in various pop-oriented bands in the seventies to focus on his true passion, blues music, and along the early eighties he played for several blues-soul bands until he formed his own ensemble LLoyd Jones Struggle in 1985. His first album was released in 1987 and to date this "Tennessee Run" is his seventh studio recording, where he lets his roots fly with doses of Rhythm & Blues and Louisiana funk, surrounded by a band of pure swamp sweaty blues flavor. A marvel of an album from start to finish, worked and polished throughout, with horn arrangements and a rhythmic section that don't give rest while Jones's guitar is always at the right cooking point. One cannot expect more than this result from a root music project in the first quarter of the 21st century.
