Comment: None of the supposedly reliable sources here are about Linaberry or his music project. The sources that are about him are just his record label, his spotify, etc. No signs of significant independent coverage. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 22:25, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
The Bones of J.R Jones[edit]
The Bones of J.R Jones is a solo music project started by Jonathon Linaberry, an artist from upstate New York. Sourcing from his past of playing hardcore punk, he became enamored with gospel, folk and blues music; later independently launching The Bones of J.R Jones in 2012. He has worked as an independent artist free from Music Labels Jonathon Linaberry has since released 5 albums (including 2012’s The Wildness, 2014’s Dark was the Yearling, 2016’s Spirit’s Yearling, 2018’s One’s to keep Close and 2023’s Slow Lightning.[1]). His music was initially self-released, later transitioning to a label called “Tone Tree Music”. The label is a small-scale label that mainly signs Indie artists[2]. As an independent artist, Linaberry does most things online, which allows him to reach a much wider audience, but still tour continually as it is still a crucial aspect to the modern music scene[3].
Linaberry started dabbling in music at 6 years old, when his mother made him take Piano lessons. He later taught himself the Banjo and guitar[4]. He had his start in New York’s hardcore and Punk scenes, later started listening to the field recordings of Alan Lomax, who throughout the 1930s and 40s documented rural American blues, folk and gospel musicians. Watching these recordings, Linaberry was inspired by the unwashed and dirty sound the blues has to offer. Linaberry’s style is a blend of Folk and Blues influenced music. His latest album, “Slow Lightning”, incorporates music from the ranges of Bruce Springsteen, Bon Iver, James Murphy, and J.J. Cale[5].
On stage, Linaberry performs with a kick drum, a hi-hat, and a banjo or guitar (on occasion a kazoo or harmonica), and has performed all over the United States over his decade-long career[6].
Genres[edit]
The Bones of J.R Jones' genres include mainly the Blues and Folk. Folk music is typically used to describe “a folk”[7], which suggests that the music is connected to group identity and culture, which is closely related to the folksy blues style The Bones of J.R. Jones identifies with[8]. The Blues originates from African-American folk-music. Linaberry blends both styles of music to create his own sound[9]
