Based in Nashville, but raised in a coal miner's company house on the banks of Buffalo Creek, WV, Stone Jack Jones is the descendant of four generations of coal miners. After being rejected from military service in Vietnam due to epilepsy, and discouraged from pursuing the coal mining business, Jack decided to start wandering. By the time he landed in Nashville, where he met Roger Moutenot, Patty Griffin, and Kurt Wagner, Jack had worked as a carny, an escape artist, a ballet dancer, a professional lute player, and even owned a strip club.

haunting, folk/Americana tunes
3rd album from Nashville artist who plays haunting, folk/Americana meditations on the mysteries and trials of life. “Ancestor” is a subtle, dark exploration of the tiny, but crucial, threads of hope hanging out in the arena of existential despair. The laid-back spookiness of Jones’ voice and his poetic lyrics are supported by acoustic & electric-twang guitars, bass buzz, harmonica, banjo, horns, keyboards, strings, vocal harmonies, etc. Shades of Brother Dege, Will Oldham, Mark Lanegan, Leonard Cohen, Iron & Wine, Okkervil River.
