Synopsis

Album Description
She sounded like Saturday night on a Sunday morning. Patsy on Jesus. Elvis without the pelvis. In the space of 20 years Fern Jones would perform in over 2000 tents and churches for nearly 50,000 people. She'd release two albums and a few impossibly rare 78s, and write one song that would be a classic on the gospel circuit for years to come.

CD Reviews

Echoes of Hank, Patsy and Bob Will
Radio D-Dubya | Los Angeles, CA | 08/27/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Fern Jones' slightly sassy styling and amazing phrasing makes you wonder how many hundreds of superstars never made the big time.



If you love fifties honky tonk and gospel; if you want an appreciation of the era, or if you just want to keep your foot tapping and head nodding buy this cd!"
Unfulfilled promise...
Allen Bardin | Columbia, SC United States | 07/19/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"If Fern Jones could have sung the blues, country & pop songs she REALLY wanted to sing, she'd have been another legend. These rare recordings of country religious tunes swing & rock, thanks to Fern's soulful delivery."
Fern Jones - Glorious and Inspired
Tesla A. Monson | Olympia, WA | 10/30/2008

"Fern Jones shows us how it's done. Constantly compared to Elvis, this dame can sing! Almost all folk-types were god-fearing back then, so don't let the religious aspect scare you. If anything, it gives it a kitsch feel that anthropologists and music-lovers alike can enjoy. I especially enjoy songs like "Didn't it Rain," and "I Was There When it Happened." Also, the release is on a great label, so support the dying music business and buy this CD!"
