K.C. Jones is an artist who understands musical genres. From her childhood immersed in Appalachian music to performing in dual-language Cajun bands to finding her own love of classic pop and rock. On her debut release 'Queen of the In Between', Jones embraces all these and more to deliver something unique.
‘Beginnings and Ends’ opens the record with a classic mid-70s Fleetwood Mac melody-driven country rock track. ‘Heat Rises’, on the other hand, is a dreamy track exploring the classic emotions of love and loss.
It’s not just music that Jones understands. Her songwriting on the album demonstrates an understanding of human emotions and situations, both dark and light within her multi-layered music.
Further exploring of the human condition unfolds in ‘Bring the House Down’ and ‘Fall in Line’, both mixing brooding Americana with soul-baring lyrics highlighting conflicting emotions within relationships.
Stand out track ‘Stop the Way’ features raw guitars, heavy Hammond B3 and electric piano blended together delivering a sound that’s comparable to a mash-up between The Beatles and The Animals.
An exciting release, ‘Queen of the In Between’ is a strong opening statement by an artist who is certainly one to watch.
