“Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind dish out fistfuls of dirty
rock’n’roll with a side order of voodoo and psych” – Uncut // “Jim
Jones & The Righteous Mind ramps up the raunch with whisky-soured
hellaciousness to spare" – Classic Rock // “With his latest incarnation a
hefty dose of voodoo has been stirred into the pot of Jones’ own particular
sonic gumbo, and it’s a heady brew.” – The Arts Desk // Hot on the heels
of 2018’s successful reunion with garage-psych testifiers Thee Hypnotics,
singer/guitarist Jim Jones returns to give 2019 the kick-start that it so
urgently needs with his current band, Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind, and
the release of their incendiary second album, CollectiV. Rising from the ashes
of The Jim Jones Revue, Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind paint from a broader
sonic palette. Incorporating elements of chain gang chants, mutant soul and
gospel, and psychedelia, Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind are fervent
torchbearers for rock’n’roll at its most primal, feral and elemental.
Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind’s debut album, Super Natural, was rightly
showered by the kind of hosannas most bands merely dare dream of, while their
legendarily highly-charged live shows have left audiences breathless across the
UK and Europe.
Often found in the thick of the action, Jim Jones has worked his mojo through
memorable performances on Later with Jools Holland and Late Night with David
Letterman, as well recording radio sessions for the likes of the BBC’s late,
great John Peel, and Marc Riley. A seasoned veteran of the road, he’s shared
bills with The Stooges, Jack White, The Cult, The Cramps and Grinderman and many
more. And he’s also spread the gospel of rock’n’roll with his own shows
on 6 Music and Boogaloo Radio.
A rock’n’roll singer and guitarist of rare distinction, Jim Jones is a
raconteur with one
hell of a story to tell. You should hear it.
