Laurence Jones Releases New Single ‘You’re Not Alone’

Multi Award-Winning Blues Rocker Laurence Jones Releases New Single ‘You’re Not Alone’ from his upcoming album Bad Luck & The Blues out August 25th on Marshall Records.

The British blues/rock guitar sensation Laurence Jones has shared stages with the likes of Status Quo, Sir Van Morrison, Sir Ringo Starr, the late Jeff Beck and Johnny Winter, Joe Bonamassa, Wishbone Ash, Glenn Hughes, and Vintage Trouble among many others. In 2017, Buddy Guy, who once likened Laurence to “a young Eric Clapton”, invited the youngster to join him onstage at the Holland International Blues Festival before of an audience of 15,000. Jones has also appeared at some of the world’s most prestigious venues, including the Royal Albert Hall in London and New York’s Carnegie Hall.

“You’re Not Alone” rocks hard in a modernized Zeppelin style that’s full of big beats and even bigger guitar riffs. Jones has an enviable touch on his strings that makes him stand out in any crowd. He also plays with taste and wisdom, always keeping the song as his top priority. He’s a strong rhythm player and lead singer, too, which makes him a fully-balanced breakfast. He and his band are skin tight and highly motivated.

About “You’re Not Alone” Jones says, “This song is about the everyday struggles in life, about feeling down but always knowing you’re not the only one going through something difficult.” He adds, “I had this image when writing the song, that we are all in this together, and no matter who you are, or where you’re from… Everyone feels low from time to time.”

“You’re Not Alone”

 
Jones explains, “I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, where the guitar riffs are iconic and a huge part of the song. I’d like to think I’ve put a slightly modern touch on this, while staying authentic. It’s one of my favourite tracks on the album, and it was one of the first songs I wrote, which helped shape the entire record. There’s nothing I love more than a big riffs and wild guitar solos!”

‘Bad Luck & The Blues’ is a return to form with interplay of deep-rooted blues and classic rock n roll. Recorded at The Marshall Studio, mixed by Chris Sheldon (Jeff Beck, Foo Fighters, Radiohead) and mastered at the legendary Abbey Road Studios by Christian Wright (Jack Bruce, Robin Trower, Ten Years After).

Jones’ latest effort is rip-snortin’, hard-rockin’ blues album with one eye on 1970’s classic hard rock, and its counterpart very much focused upon the here and now. ‘Bad Luck & The Blues’ is a love letter to hard hitting blues rock, with a concise, contemporary edge.

Refining his sound and returning as a power-trio that features long time bassist Jack Alexander Timmis (Virgil & The Accelerators) and experienced session drummer Ash Sheehan (Glenn Hughes, Tony Iommi, The Twang), the new record sees Laurence at his rawest, showcasing his virtuoso guitar talents while remaining faithful to his blues roots.
