Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind Collectiv

Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind dish out fistfuls of dirty rocknroll with a side order of voodoo and psych Uncut // Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind ramps up the raunch with whisky-soured hellaciousness to spare Classic Rock // With his latest incarnation a hefty dose of voodoo has been stirred into the pot of Jones own particular sonic gumbo, and its a heady brew. The Arts Desk // Hot on the heels of 2018s successful reunion with garage-psych testifiers Thee Hypnotics, singer/guitarist Jim Jones returns to give 2019 the kick-start that it so urgently needs with his current band, Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind, and the release of their incendiary second album, CollectiV. Rising from the ashes of The Jim Jones Revue, Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind paint from a broader sonic palette. Incorporating elements of chain gang chants, mutant soul and gospel, and psychedelia, Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind are fervent torchbearers for rocknroll at its most primal, feral and elemental. Jim Jones & The Righteous Minds debut album, Super Natural, was rightly showered by the kind of hosannas most bands merely dare dream of, while their legendarily highly-charged live shows have left audiences breathless across the UK and Europe. Often found in the thick of the action, Jim Jones has worked his mojo through memorable performances on Later with Jools Holland and Late Night with David Letterman, as well recording radio sessions for the likes of the BBCs late, great John Peel, and Marc Riley. A seasoned veteran of the road, hes shared bills with The Stooges, Jack White, The Cult, The Cramps and Grinderman and many more. And hes also spread the gospel of rocknroll with his own shows on 6 Music and Boogaloo Radio. A rocknroll singer and guitarist of rare distinction, Jim Jones is a raconteur with one hell of a story to tell. You should hear it.
