Jim Jones con i Righteous Mind dá seguito al suo primo lavoro col nuovo album CollectiV che uscirà a Marzo e verrà portato in tour sui nostri lidi tra la fine di Aprile ed i primi di Maggio.

Dopo la fine della Jim Jones Revue, il nostro ha spostato il suo canovaccio su stilemi decisamente più Black: Soul, Rhythm and Blues, Gospel, Blues non disdegnando una vena psychedelica .Il nuovo album si focalizzerà sempre più su queste sonorità non dimenticando l’approccio base Rock’n’Roll reso heavy dalle passioni per MC5 e Stooges.
Il nuovo singolo Shazam ne è un chiaro esempio, l’approccio selvaggio Rhythm and Blues viene esasperato nel canto e nella ruvidezza sonora.

Il nuovo album CollectiV vede la presenza di ospiti illustri come il chitarrista Little Barrie, la soul singer Sister Cookie, Paul Ronney-Angel degli Urban Voodoo Machine,  la cantante lirica Vesna Petresin e poi due vecchi compagni dell’epoca Thee Hypnotics come il chitarrista Ray ‘Sonic’ Hanson ed il batterista Phil Smith.

Il nuovo album CollectiV sarà uno sviluppo dell’esplorazione dell’aspetto black del Rock’n’Roll e dal vivo ce ne renderemo conto.
Questa la line up che vedremo sul palco:

Jim Jones - Voce e Chitarra 
Gavin Jay- Basso e b-vox
Malcom Troon - Pedal Steel, Chitarra e b vox
Matt Millership - Tastiere e b vox
Andy Marvell - Batteria

JIM JONES & THE RIGHTEOUS MIND ANNOUNCE SECOND ALBUM, COLLECTIV, NEW SINGLE, SEX ROBOT, AND UK TOUR DATES 

Following on from their critically acclaimed debut album, Super Natural, Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind has announced details of its hotly anticipated follow-up CollectiV and a UK tour. The single, Sex Robot, will precede both. 

Released on 08 March 2019 on Ma§onic Records via Cargo, CollectiV is a veritable sonic feast. Made from only the finest ingredients including rock’n’roll, chain gang chants, mutant soul and gospel, as well as the band’s own heavy lounge, this is the best release yet from singer Jim Jones, whose career has seen him front the legendary bands Thee Hypnotics, Black Moses and The Jim Jones Revue. 

Sex Robot is released on 22 February. 

Giving weight to the album’s name is a stellar cast of guest musicians. These include guitarist Little Barrie, soul singer Sister Cookie, Urban Voodoo Machine’s Paul-Ronney Angel, and opera singer Vesna Petresin. CollectiV also finds Jim Jones re-uniting with guitarist Ray ‘Sonic’ Hanson and drummer Phil Smith, his comrades from Thee Hypnotics, for the first time in over 20 years. 

Joining the band in spirit is The Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards, whose 1964 Gibson Hummingbird – the very guitar on which ‘Street Fighting Man’ and other classics were written and recorded – made its way into Jim Jones’ hands and within the grooves contained on CollectIV. 

Crucially, these are appearances that build and emphasise the explosive music of Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind. 

Commenting on the album, Jones says: “The idea was to take disparate influences and ideas and then bring them together. Just like in real life, these different elements work really well together.” 

He continues: “Get together and get involved! It’s an important time for us all to break down the barriers, work together, and channel each other’s energies. And that’s exactly what we’ve done on CollectiV.” 

He’s not wrong. And in doing so, Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind have added a new volume to the great musical library.
