Singer/songwriter Hang Jones took this to heart when writing the songs for his debut album, The Ballad of Carlsbad County. What began as a collection of bluegrass inspired country-rock songs evolved into a Western Outlaw-themed story album complete with hangings, gunfights, sex, and revenge. Jones credits two of his songs as catalysts for inspiring him to write a concept record. "When I began writing material for the new record, ‘Caroline’ and ‘Red’ were my favorites. I liked them for their cinematic quality, and they were a lot of fun to sing, but when I noticed that they could be chapters in a much larger story, I got really excited about rewriting all the other tunes to fit into the story."

The album chronicles the life and fall of William Bishop. Born the son of a notorious outlaw, William, at an early age, witnesses his father’s capture and hanging. He spends his developmental years wrestling with the stigma of his father’s crimes (and punishment) while his mother stresses that William’s fate is not the same as his father’s. “I liked the idea of playing with free will versus destiny. Put the protagonist into situations where if he does what he feels is morally right, he will eventually wind up on the same road as his father, a man he himself views as amoral.”

Jones is no newcomer to cinematic songwriting. His songs have been featured in the film “American Venus” (2007), as well as NBC prime time television shows “Friday Night Lights,” “The Black Donnellys,” and “Quarterlife.” Jones is also a skilled front man; honing his live performances in his Americana rock band Del Bombers, opening for such legendary acts as Social Distortion, The Blasters, and The Cadillac Tramps as well as several headlining North American tours.

To promote his latest creation Jones has embraced the many tools available on the web to get his music to his fans. The new Hang Jones material will be released in installments on his web site, as well as several peer to peer and social networking sites. Modeled after an old radio serial show, each new track is a chapter in the story, taking William, and the listener, to the inevitable crossroads where our hero will have to decide his own fate: hang like his father, or live free like his mother taught him. While taking on such a massive undertaking for an indie artist appears daunting, Jones remains fervently optimistic that his message, and songs, will be heard. "Success or failure for indie artists is entirely up to them. Historically, we have never been on such even footing with the record companies. So let the majors keep trying to sell us the same old fluff we don’t want; I’ll focus on getting really cool, high-concept music to the fans that will want to hear it.”

NOTES
-----------------
One of 22 albums to be released in the "The Rolling Stones The Sixties Cardboard Sleeve Collection" reissue series. All albums feature DSD mastering from 2002 and cardboard sleeve case designs.

Flowers is the eighth U.S. studio album by The Rolling Stones, released in 1967. The album is a mishmash of previously recorded tracks. The songs either appeared as singles, had been omitted from the American versions of Aftermath and Between the Buttons, were collected from studio sessions dating back several years, or are simply reissues of songs recently released on other albums.

Three tracks had never been released. "My Girl" from the Out of Our Heads and Between the Buttons sessions, and "Ride On, Baby" and "Sittin' On A Fence" from the Aftermath sessions.

The title refers to the album's cover, with flower stems underneath the portrait of each band member. Bassist Bill Wyman claims that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards deliberately arranged the stem of Brian Jones's flower so that it had no leaves, as a prank. He later stated that "I didn't get the joke". The portraits are from the UK version of Aftermath.

Flowers reached #3 in the US during the late summer of 1967 and went gold. In August 2002 it was remastered and reissued on CD and SACD digipak by ABKCO Records.

“

All tracks are in MONO including Heart Of Stone. It should be noted here at this point that the original mono recordings were "electronicaly re-processed" into a bass/treble channel separation when stereo recordings had become the standard in the late 1960's recording industry. This is NOT the case here and probably fundamentally responsible for the overall enhanced sound presentation. Originally recorded mono master tracks are now heard in their native recorded format employing the latest in digital transfer technologies. Note that this is the track list for the original Decca UK vinyl LP release of this title which is sort of a combination of US "December's Children" and "Out Of Our Heads". Also note that is does not include the mega hit Satisfaction.
