Fernando Jones Stranded CD

***********Here is what the critics say:STRAIGHT FROM THE HEARTPRESS REVIEWS/QUOTES'One in a blue moon a band like this comes along ... (STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART) got that quality that gives you that gut bucket gizzard rip feel with each and every song. You just want to stop whatever the hell important thing you're doing and get down and boogie when these blues jump off those speakers ... (Pierre) can blow harp with the best of them. (He's got) excellent harp tone and technique ... (Billy Flynn) plays wicked guitar and slide guitar ... Drummer/singer Robert 'Golden Voice' Covington is absolutely one of the most gifted blues singer on the face of the Old Mother Earth.

'- LAS VEGAS BLUES SOCIETY'STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART is steeped with tradition, influenced with experience, and so well balanced with artistry. MISSISSIPPI HEAT will warm you, toast you, and fire you up. ... Almost every song has a specific arrangement worked out for each instrument, and everything seems well rehearsed and well thought of. Although one would think that this is the way it's supposed to be on all recordings, far too many blues bands seem to take the easy way out, apparently thinking that calling out 'Slow blues in G' is all the direction that's necessary - but that's definitely NOT the case with this band.

'- AMERICAN HARMONICA NEWSLETTER'Thankfully, these guys play as though Rock music had never happened ... an extremely pleasant surprise.

MAGAZINE, United Kingdom, Issue 28http:// bluesmatters U.S.D.A.* BLUES It Don't Smell Funny Yet "Weird & Wonderful....These two words sum up this release which probably sits in the Nu-Blues field although it does have some jazz influences. For me the first three tracks sum up this album perfectly: 1."Hard Drive Blues" This is a conventional Jazzy influenced blues number, with strong vocals by La Gringa, who sings in the "Cleo Laine" vein & some funky rhythms. 2.
