A Welcome Suprise.......2004-09-09

I bought this CD because of "Best Of Me" which recieved minor radio play. I was completely surprised by the overall appeal of this CD.

The first track, "As Good As You", is a little reminiscent of Hootie & The Blowfish's "Hannah Jane" with rustic vocals and a strong chorus. Strong tracks include "The One", "Look At You Now" and "Torn Asunder".

This is one CD you can listen to from start to finish and not get bored.

A great band that got stiffed.......2003-04-18

Far Too Jones was a little band I discovered in about 1997 after hearing "Best of Me" on the radio in Chicago. The band had lots of potential, but alas it was not to be realized. After the single "Best of Me" hit minor radio success, the band started to work on a follow up album that is title "Shame and Her Sister", another great album, but their record company restructured and most, if not all, of the smaller bands were dropped.

Back to the album though. The album has a unique sound that few bands come close to comparing to, and none duplicate. From their haunting ballad of "Close to You" (A personal favorite) to the upbeat rock/pop sounds of "Best of Me" the album blends ingeneous lyrics with fun melodies for sounds that make you never want to take the CD out of your player. Other songs such as "As Good As You" (another minor radio hit) and "Nameless" are fun songs that you will want to listen to again and again. Mostly a rock band, although I will admit some pop shows through, Far Too Jones is a CD that you should give a try. Who knows it may start the same love affair with the band it started for me. Also make sure to check out their new band called the clear, they will soon have their new album up for free on their website for people to download.

Happy Listening!

In a word - FANTASTIC!.......2003-01-30

This is the best rock/pop CD I have ever heard! Buy it and be amazed. If you like Nickleback, Toploader, The Calling, Hootie, Vertical Horizon & even the mighty MATCHBOX 20, Jones blow them away!
I cant recommend this CD highly enough.........BUY IT!

great band.......2002-12-28

If only Far Too Jones was still here.
They are now reformed and are called "the clear".
I let my old cd get scratched up and now I am [out of luck in buying another.
Do not let this happen to one of your favorite band's cds or else you will be[as upset]as I am.
Good luck to them in the future because they are a [great] band!
