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/Artist that started making songs since about 1994 and performing live since about 2006 while living and working in South Texas (Corpus Christi).  After working and traveling for over 2 decades, a pile of live experiences and songwriting helped this sound and songs take shape.  Gradually and Gratefully, the music became layered with those years and experiences.  So, from South Pacific travels, to Twang and Psychedelic sounds learned in South Texas to the early years of learning old Folk, Blues and Cowboy songs around campfires while growing up in Arkansas, this emerged into its unprocessed, ragged and jangly form that we call FolkaDeltaCowPunkana."

“"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."”

— The Pacific Northwest ~ 2011 - for the now lost LP "The Unknown"
