DIANA JONES
![]() |
Diana's music is informed by the themes that have run through her life; love, loss, & redemption; bringing to mind both Emily Dickinson & Loretta Lynn in the same breath. From the mournful lament of a dance hall girl, to the stomping melodic rant of a young woman's burial instructions, each of Diana's original songs from her latest cd, My Remembrance of You, draws life from the rich cross currents of old timey, country blues & mountain music. Adopted as an infant & raised in New York, Diana left home at the age of 15 in search of her roots. Unlike most of her friends, she was attracted to the music of Johnny Cash & Patsy Cline, as well as contemporary artists Emmylou Harris & Dolly Parton. It wasn't until she was reunited with her birth family & the music of the Eastern Tennessee hills some years later, that she discovered why that music had always moved her. Remembrance was listed on several critics’ Top cds of 2006, including the #1 Country record for the year by the Chicago Tribune! 'Jones is on the verge of a critical breakthrough. Increasingly compared to the likes of Iris DeMent & Gillian Welch, Jones just might be the best American songwriter most people have never heard of.' -Chicago Tribune |
