Joshua Scott Jones’ Solo Debut Album, The Healing Continues to Garner Media Attention

Rolling Stone Country, People Country and Country Weekly Get Story Behind The Album As Told By Jones

“Jones’ newly sober, newly single life has led to some of the most introspective music in his catalog, as he approaches not only performing but also songwriting in a sharper light.” – Beville Dunkerley, Rolling Stone Country

“By mixing his honest songwriting with various instruments, Jones proves himself as a solo artist and holds nothing back on his first release.” – Valerie Hammond, Nashville Lifestyles

“The Healing runs the gamut of human emotions. There’s fun, sadness, mixed in with optimism and in some cases, regret. But, with each track you get the feeling that Jones has lived each word he’s singing.” – Chuck Dauphin, Billboard

Recently featured in Rolling Stone Country, The Healing has major media outlets raving about Joshua Scott Jones’ raw, honest and powerful solo debut album. Jones opens up to Rolling Stone Country, People Country and Country Weekly and confesses the story behind the album.

“It’s like opening an old wound, and that makes me nervous,” admitted Jones to Rolling Stone Country. “But it made for an honest record that’s straight from the heart.”

Joshua Scott Jones discusses the hardship of addiction, his break-up with Steel Magnolia partner Meghan Linsey and his sober round of writing for his solo debut album. He even points out his many regrets but states “you have to trust that this is the way life is.” Jones has been very open with his past and now with his album released the lyrics and soul of The Healing tell a whole new side in which Rolling Stone Country points out, “his round is purely based on his inspiration to write and that brings out a whole new, sharper, sound from Joshua Scott Jones.”

“This is honest songwriting at its best… It’s about the bravest album I’ve heard since Glen Campbell’s Ghost On The Canvas. With this album full of songs of loss and recovery, Joshua Scott Jones reveals as much as might be humanly possible of the human experience on a record. It’s just that good,” confesses Greg Victor, Parcbench.com, which gave the album a 4 out of 4 stars rating.
