This week has brought with it great new album announcements for the kiddos! Dean Jones’ “In My Dreams” is another awesome addition to our list. The new album of 13 original songs, In My Dreams, leads listeners on a stream-of-consciousness journey full of humor and hopefulness. Hailing from Upstate, Jones is a GRAMMY winning producer and prolific recording artist (he also leads the band Dog on Fleas). He says he wrote all of these songs while walking in the woods with his dog, within a 10 mile radius of his home in the Hudson River Valley. “These are things I think about when I just open up my mind and senses,” he explains. “I tend to leave a lot to the imagination. I ask a lot of questions and don’t often answer them.”
Jones has produced several award-winning albums by Recess Monkey, Frances England, Red Yarn, Gustafer Yellowgold, Joanie Leeds, Elizabeth Mitchell, Charlie Hope and Uncle Rock, with others in the works at his Hudson River Valley straw-bale No Parking Studio. The Okee Dokee Brothers thanked Jones for his work in producing their GRAMMY winning album in their acceptance speech.
