"Kacey Jones, known for
her comedy albums and hanging out with Garrison Keillor at Lake
Wobegon, breaks your heart so many times on this exquisite disc, you
have to think just a bit of her life experience adds to the genius.
Country blues have never been bluer, or more eloquent, and Jones'
seen-it-all voice is the perfect match for Newbury's poignant
worldview. From the ache of "Ramblin' Blues" to the infectious
bounce of "San Francisco Mabel Joy," Jones honors a singular talent
as only another singular talent could. "
-- David Wiegand
- The San Francisco Chronicle

WHAT THE NATIONAL PRESS IS
SAYING ABOUT...
KACEY
JONES SINGS MICKEY NEWBURY
Jones, known for her comedy albums and
hanging out with Garrison Keillor at Lake
Wobegon, breaks your
heart on this exquisite disc. Country blues have never been bluer, or more
eloquent, and her seen-it-all voice is the perfect match for Newbury's
poignant world view. Jones honors a singular talent as only another
singular talent could.
Jones's readings are note perfect, the
rich arrangements are beautifully conceived, and the soul of Mickey Newbury
lives again, vivid as ever in his timeless, literate songs.
Amazon.com - Editorial
Review:
Kacey Jones has previously been known as
a comic performer, but there isn't a laugh to be found on this tribute to her
musical mentor. The lush arrangements and new-age atmospherics of Jones's
production, and her dramatic phrasing suggests an actress as much as a singer,
and the selection of material steeped in melancholy attest to the project's
seriousness of purpose.
Country Line Magazine /Austin,
TX:
Kacey Jones may very well be staring a Grammy nomination
in the face at the end of the year, this album is that powerful...and it would
be a fitting tribute to both artists, the giant in the world of songwriters and
the gifted, loving singer who cared enough to say thanks.
Jones handles the subtleties, the
complexities, of Newbury's melodies with magnificent style and grace, bringing
the power of the tunes out with a raw strength that's simply a joy to
hear. Woven together under Jones' own skillful production, with gentle rain and
sound effects between the tracks, the entire album is a work of art.
The Nashville City
Paper:
Kacey Jones' previous releases have
spotlighted her quick, biting wit and satirical prowess,
most notably Every Man I Love is Either
Married, Gay, or Dead. But she not only plays it straight on this Mickey
Newbury tribute, she expertly and accurately communicates each song. Newbury
isn't nearly as famous as he should be, but Kacey's treatment of his songs will
inspire those who hear them to delve deeper into his rich and overlooked
catalog.
El
Dorado News-Times / El
Dorado, AR:
Several months ago I heard Kacey on
"A Prairie Home Companion." It was love at first listen. Her
tribute to Newbury is one of the most gorgeous albums I've ever heard. I
can't imagine how this CD could have been done any better. Every single
track touched me to the bone.
Kacey is one of roots music's players
most worthy of wider recognition. After tackling the works of one great
American several years ago, producing a Kinky Friedman all-star tribute,
she's moved on to another great American,
Mickey Newbury. On this set, Jones gives Newbury the interpretation he
deserves. All roots fans need to check this out. Hot stuff.
