Produced and Recorded at Buffalo Music/Jonivan Jones Music. All songs written by Jonivan Jones. Mastered for Digital and Vinyl by James Plotkin (Plotkinworks).

"Fighting uphill the last few years and traveling, sleeping in cars or on the ground in parks & national forests along tour routes created the backdrop for an album. It's full of road songs, still spells, little red hens, ragged truths, an ode to an important cowboy singer/songwriter, old trails, road staggers, lonely highway blues, bat countries, 2nd chance hearts and a fast fade. This release blankets the peak of 17 years of Independent songwriting, performing live and traveling across the States and parts of the world, it's a mixture of influences and experiences from Arkansas Folk to the Delta & Country Blues sound to the familiar rhythm of Americana and its roots." credits released December 2, 2022

About

"Traveler and artist working and traveling through many locations around the country for over two decades, amassing a pile of live experiences and a few notebooks of songwriting. Travels, twang, and psychedelic sounds mixed themselves with early years of learning traditional folk, blues, and cowboy songs around campfires while growing up in Arkansas to make a ragged and jangly sound."

— American Pancake

“"If you were traveling along some forgotten highway deep in the great, open plains and if you stopped at dusk at some dim, smoky bar for a beer this would be the band you’d be hearing while sipping your dusty-can cheap brew. Their wandering, resonating guitar sound on their album, The Unknown, evokes a glimpse into a sort of grim, psychedelic underworld of Americana."”
