About The Bones Of J.R. Jones:
Something happens to J.R. Linaberry. It’s hard to put your finger on it, but when the musician takes the stage, surrounded by his many instruments, suddenly creating sound, projecting noise, drumming up long-gestating emotions, you know he’s transformed; a sense of purpose and poise envelops the air. “It’s very easy to be a different person when it comes to this project,” says Linaberry, who performs and completely inhabits the persona of the early-twentieth-century blues musician, The Bones of J.R. Jones. “For me it’s an outlet more than anything else.”
It’s via the live show that The Bones of J.R. Jones has established itself as a spellbinding musical force: there’s Linaberry, all by his lonesome, playing several instruments - guitar, banjo, bass drum, high-hat - all at once, transforming any setting, no matter how visibly modern, into an old-time roadside juke joint. Now, over several years performing, the traveling troubadour has refined his craft so poignantly as to craft a batch of highly refined, barn-burning blues and folk numbers. They take the form of Dark Was The Yearling, The Bones of J.R. Jones’ mesmerizing new LP.
The first full-length effort, both jarring and meditative in its juxtaposition of snarling electric guitar licks (“Fury of the Light”), banjo backbeats (“St. James’ Bed”) and acoustic charm (“The Plan”), is bookended by twin takes on the foot-stomping “Dreams to Tell.”
“That songs never gets old to me,” says Linaberry. “I felt like the album needed two versions of it… for better or worse.” The album’s highlight however, is undoubtedly “The Dark,” a somber ode to the musician’s late grandfather. The harmonic hymnal, written in the hours following the passing of a man whom Linaberry describes as “very much the patriarch” of his family, ended up shaping the entirety of the album, “giving it a much more heavier sound near the end of it.
“That was one of those rare instances that a song did come out in 24 hours,” Linaberry says of “The Dark.” “And it really hasn’t changed since then.”
Crafted by Linaberry over the past year and half following the release of 2012’s The Wildness EP, Dark Was The Yearling, a 12-track collection, was born out of a gradual, introspective writing and recording process. Penning music, the musician explains, is a art form he finds is best never rushed by preconceived expectations or false expectations. “I’m not one of those artists who can sit down and write a song a day,” he says. “I wish it happened more but it can’t be forced.”
Linaberry first developed a deep-seeded love for classic folk and blues - the sort best exemplified by early torchbearers like Blind Lemon Jefferson and Lightnin’ Hopkins - 15 years ago after being given a collection of albums entitled “American Roots Music” by his father. He subsequently fully immersed himself in it. “It reshaped my musical landscape,” says Linaberry, whose upstate New York upbringing upstate found him deeply entrenched in the local hardcore punk-rock scene. “What made me fall in love with the punk scene, I heard again in those records,” he offers. “And I haven’t turned back.”
The idea and promise of timeless music, the kind uncontaminated by passing trend, was greatly appealing to Linaberry. In old-time folk and blues he found “something so precious that you care for. I don’t know where it’s going,” he adds, but I will always be moving in this direction and falling in love with these songs and finding new artists that I can relate to.”
The Bones of J.R. Jones is an ever-evolving project - one that Linaberry will continue to spread via his mesmerizing live shows. Don’t expect to see him with other musicians anytime soon. Performing solo, he says, “became a matter of necessity for me to reach what I felt was an accurate portrait of what I wanted to represent."
“For me my biggest fear with doing a one-man band is it would become a gimmick,” he offers. “Like ‘Oh, he’s the one-man band guy.’ I’ve put those reservations aside and fully embraced it."
Heard this song as a jingle for a Blue Nile commercial. The jingle pulled me to investigate further n im glad I did. Great song!
Erick Albert I did the same.
Yeah same. I hate that a fucking commercial brought me here, but it's a good song.
same
Likewise. A gold star to whoever can catch all the lyrics!
Same
I cry profusely when I listen to this song. I don't know why... something about the notes.
Fantastic music!! Too good for that dorky commercial!
I found "Dark was the Yearling" cd but didn't know who this music belonged to because the was no artist listed. No case anywhere to be found. Played it all day at work...over and over and then over again.
Had to find out who it was
Took it home and popped it into my laptop and downloaded it
Got the artist while downloading it.
What an absolutely incredible talent this guy is
I am absolutely blown away
Your music speaks to me like no other
Fucking incredible !

Our hearts our racing, let's go chase them down
My blood is pumping one hundred miles an hour
All these bruises
Just a reason, there's no turning back for me
Honey we can, finally let our wild run free
Let our wild run free
Baby we're wasting, that don't matter now
Was too young a nerve, not to give a damn anyhow
Let them throw their, expectations to the dogs
Then our blood on swey, honey written on the wall
Written on the wall
Your loveless words are just a reason there's no turning back for you
Don't you wanna see just what this love can do?
Don't you wanna see just what trouble we can get into?
(We can get into)
Our hearts our racing, let's go chase them down
We're looking for an excuse to get out of this town
+MrMagJon Thank you!
+MusicForLife I just Googled it btw 😁
Oh gosh... just was greeted by the face of Donald Trump as the add for this video.
DO NOT GO TO THEM LIVE if you want music close to this, live they are hard-ish rock
Obviously you don't go to many of my live shows. I play acoustic sets all the time. You should come to one some time.
