Description
JW-Jones' High Temperature, produced by Colin Linden, is the winner of "Best Self-Produced CD" at the 2017 'International Blues Challenge' (via Blues Foundation in Memphis), and was named the 'Hot Shot Debut' on the Billboard Top 10. It's the follow up to the JUNO Award nominated Belmont Boulevard, which was nominated for a Maple Blues Award, held the #1 position on roots radio stations across Canada for 13 weeks.

"JW-Jones is a breath of fresh air in this era of so much musical-fluff. Acclaimed Nashville producer Colin Linden takes Jones into new territory with warm, analog-driven tones, and a wide-range of material. His evolution as a musician and vocalist shine through on this record like never before. Real songs, real playing by real people, and JW is the real deal." - Chuck Leavell (The Rolling Stones).

"JW-Jones is ready to take his place among the greater blues-based musicians of the 21st century, and I'm honoured to work on his new record" says Colin Linden. Linden (an 8-time JUNO and GRAMMY winner), is the musical director for the hit TV series 'Nashville' and has produced over 100 projects from Bruce Cockburn to Colin James.

High Temperature features the touring band Laura Greenberg and Mathieu Lapensée, as well as an all-star cast of session musicians; bassist Dominic Davis (Jack White, Tom Jones, Beck), keyboard player Kevin McKendree (Brian Setzer, Delbert McClinton), and drummer Bryan Owings (Emmylou Harris, Robert Plant). Liam Russell sings harmonies on several tracks, and JW welcomes his first recorded duet with hit-songwriter Jaida Dreyer on her song How Many Hearts (co-written with Colin Linden). The release features original songs penned with the incredible Ottawa-based songwriter, Dick Cooper (Cooper Brothers), including the deeply personal "Who I Am", which Jones uses as a vehicle to open-up even more than on Belmont Boulevard's "Cocaine Boy".
