*Stacy Jones *"can't do nothin' right." Or maybe she can, with this yet to be released collection of 12 original songs recorded and co-produced by Floyd Reitsma (Pearl Jam and Dave Mathews) at Studio Litho in Seattle. Continually nominated for "Best of the Blues" Awards in songwriting, performance, harmonica, guitar and winning vocalist of the year, Stacy shows her talents off in this compilation new of songs about love, lost love, whiskey drinking and life on the road. With her fourth studio album Stacy Jones shows off her country, folk and Americana roots while always having a touch of the blues in her soul. She enlisted the talents of award winning guitarists Kevin Sutton, Mark Riley and Sean Denton to add firepower to her long time rhythm section of Tom Jones and Rick J Bowen. Fiddle player Jon Parry add spice to four tracks as well. Having made appearances at SXSW, Chicago Blues Festival, Beale St. Memphis during the IBC's and several other national and regional festivals, her talent is awaiting the next level of recognition. Stacy has shared the stage with Elvin Bishop, Lee Oskar, John Nemeth, Ian Siegal, Charlie Musselwhite and more. Her wait for recognition won't be long. Early Reviews ::: "Stacy Jones connects with her Country Roots telling her story of a Whiskey & Water Baptism that lace Blues and Rock edges bringing this collection of songs to life. She embraces the Singer-Songwriter she has developed into with a conviction that listeners will relate to. From “Can’t Do Nothing Right”, “Whiskey Wine and Water” to “San Antonio”, crack the Crown and get down road with Stacy’s musical story." Jonathan Oogie” Richards NWCZ Radio “With the rolling thunder blues of Howlin’ Wolf mixed with the honesty of Lucinda Williams, Stacy Jones is poised for big things to come with the fantastic new album ‘Whiskey, Wine & Water.’” Troy Michael, Innocent Words “With her feet firmly planted in roots based music, Stacy Jones pays homage to the blues but experiments by mixing in some mild-Americana and subtle country licks. Dynamic vocals fueled by powerful lyrics help her blaze through track after track of music that will surely get the listener up on their feet and out on the dance floor.” Glen Casebeer, Northwest Music Scene "If you thought you knew what to expect from a Stacy Jones album, you’re going to get quite a surprise when you hear “Whiskey, Wine And Water”. The up-tempo opening track “Can’t Do Nothing Right” gives a lie to the whole album, Stacy and the band can do little wrong! Unlike earlier albums, there are nice shades of country with fiddle on — “You And Me Tonight” and the tremendous rollicking “San Antonio” although both remain with one foot in the blues. Brooding ballads, power blues, gentle blues, up-tempo blues and the guitar on “Mama” is almost reminiscent of the Allman Brothers. Given Stacy’s harmonica skills, they’re a bit under-represented. However, Kevin Sutton (guitar), Tom Jones (bass) and Rick J Bowen (drums) provide a real power trio to show-case Stacy’s voice. The band’s best album yet in my humble opinion!"
