Diana Jones

Back with a career high 'Live' Album.

High Atmosphere, the third album in the remarkable career arc of singer-songwriter/visual artist Diana Jones, hits with the force of a revelation, further deepening an unprecedented body of work that began in 2006 with My Remembrance of You and continued with 2009’s Better Times Will Come.

On her new release, recorded entirely live with simpatico musicians at Quad studios in Nashville and co-produced by Jones with Ketch Secor (from the band Old Crow Medicine Show), this single-minded artist continues to hew to an austere, plainspoken aesthetic, yet its timelessly homespun frameworks are embedded with distinctly topical subject matter.

As Bill Friskics-Warren so aptly pointed out in his New York Times profile, Jones 'approaches the mountain-ballad tradition not as a curiosity or antique but as a renewable vernacular that’s just as capable of speaking to the human condition now as it was 80 years ago.'
