“Laney Jones and the Spirits are a band to watch.” LA Record
Alison Krauss certainly thinks so – the country superstar described their work as “beautiful and original.” Miss Jones has a voice like honey and whiskey and can play a mean banjo, but this Berklee College of Music graduate and her band are still evolving their sound.
“When people see the banjo, they expect bluegrass. While I have deep love and respect for that music, I have really eclectic taste.” Jones said. “I listen to everything from early folk roots to hip hop. I can’t help but take influence from everything around me. With this album I wanted to prove that I can bring traditional instruments into unexplored realms.
