Brothers & Sisters … although the path may be dark at times … although you may feel an emptiness in your soul … although you may think you’ve been forgotten … Brothers & Sisters, Fear No Longer! There is a light that will clear your vision, warm your being and embrace you with All that Rock-n-Roll should be!

This light … this energizing light … this almost Blinding Furious Ball of Light is known as The Jim Jones Revue !
Prepare to redeem your rock-n-roll soul!

THE REVUE

The Jim Jones Revue recently released their debut self-titled album, and it’s just what I needed! It’s 30 sizzling minutes of rock-n-roll that’ll make ya wanna do flips like Jake in Church. This album was recorded really “hot” but natural … if you have some beat up Lil Richard 45’s layin’ around – you’ll find that The Revue’s debut fits in quite nicely with them.

Speaking of Lil’ Richard, there’s a cover of “Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey!” on the album and I think Jim Jones was possessed by the spirit of young Lil’ Richard during the recording … Holy Crap it SMOKES!!!

Jim Jones has been a part of some amazing bands (Thee Hypnotics & Black Moses) and The Revue is yet another one. It’s different stylistically but energy-wise it’s much like Thee Hypnotics “Liv’r Than God”.

This is an album full of riffs you’ve probably heard before, with traditional Rock-n-Roll themes, and it’s LOUD … it’s down-n-dirty blues-boogie ass-shakin’ hard-partyin’ rock-n-roll that has one thing in mind … A Damn Good Time! These are well written songs played masterfully by a pack of maniacs! I really hope they make it to America … specifically Chicago.
