Patch Jones Hi folks,<br /><br />I'm Patch Jones.<br /><br />OK, first I’ll tell you the story behind the patch. <br /><br />When I was about a year old I was diagnosed with a type of cancer in my left eye called Retinal Blastoma. When the cancer was discovered it was very close to spreading into the brain. Had it done so, I would not be writing this and there would be no songs by Patch Jones. Anyway, my left eye is artificial. For anyone who wears contacts, you realize that dry eyes can be a problem. For me, playing music in smoky bars, late at night, with a tired dry artificial eye, became somewhat painful. It was easier just to wear an eye patch. So that is why I wear the patch. I also have a pet parrot and I rob ships that stray out of international waters, so the patch works out well for that job too;{})<br /><br />I have two CDs as a solo artist. One I have released and that is called "In the Kingdom of the Blind." The other is called "On Top of the World." I also have another album called "Incensative" from my former band "Lyce." Lyce is pretty much a dead project at this time. Presently, I am a solo artist. I make all my music available for full length streaming, but I sure would appreciate it if you would download me off of iTunes, or whatever digital distribution service you use. 99 cents is not much, but it can mean a lot to a musician!<br /><br />The musical style spans the genres of Blues and Rock, ranging from hard and heavy, all the way down to soft and light. Since such a wide range of music influences me, I often find it difficult to stay within the confines of just one genre.<br /><br />My musical career began as a bass player. I played bass for a number of Blues, and Classic Rock bands. Eventually, I moved more towards playing guitar, as I became more of a solo artist. At this time I began concentrating more on making my own recordings.<br /><br />Some of my influences are Elvis, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton and Cream, Jim Morrison and the Doors, Hendrix, Zeppelin, Tenacious D, Spinal Tap, Alice Cooper, Frank Zappa, and many more. These artists drew heavily on both Rock and Blues, to achieve their unique sound. In many ways, I have also done this, and in the hope of adding my own style and signature to a compilation of Patch Jones tunes, that you will find to be something new and unique.<br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you Enjoy the tunes!!!<br /><br />Patch Jones http://www.imeem.com/patchjones Delta 0 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Patch Jones http://www.imeem.com/patchjones/music/jV4KVldN/patch-jones-ride/ Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:54:31 -0000 Ride by Patch Jones <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/patchjones/music/jV4KVldN/patch-jones-ride/"><img border="0" src="http://icons-p3.imeem.com/jV4KVldN.jpg" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> a2dxL42vPe Patch Jones http://www.imeem.com/patchjones/music/MjsGTk7w/patch-jones-t800/ Fri, 09 Oct 2009 01:00:06 -0000 T800 by Patch Jones <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/patchjones/music/MjsGTk7w/patch-jones-t800/"><img border="0" src="http://icons-p2.imeem.com/MjsGTk7w.jpg" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> fEH-imbiBh Patch Jones http://www.imeem.com/patchjones/music/qreETK0n/patch-jones-when-othin-spake/ Fri, 18 Sep 2009 01:44:24 -0000 When Othin Spake by Patch Jones <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/patchjones/music/qreETK0n/patch-jones-when-othin-spake/"><img border="0" src="http://icons-p1.imeem.com/qreETK0n.jpg" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> yD1r4ACyGP Patch Jones http://www.imeem.com/patchjones/music/7joxBA4d/patch-jones-forever-never-never-land/ Wed, 16 Sep 2009 02:10:15 -0000 Forever Never Never Land by Patch Jones <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/patchjones/music/7joxBA4d/patch-jones-forever-never-never-land/"><img border="0" src="http://icons-p2.imeem.com/7joxBA4d.jpg" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> bnMA0fSBXu Patch Jones http://www.imeem.com/patchjones/music/50eHs1nc/patch-jones-cock-rock/ Thu, 03 Sep 2009 16:36:02 -0000 Cock Rock by Patch Jones <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/patchjones/music/50eHs1nc/patch-jones-cock-rock/"><img border="0" src="http://icons-p1.imeem.com/50eHs1nc.jpg" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> gMaYPnLv8s Patch Jones http://www.imeem.com/patchjones/music/KjhDL0f2/patch-jones-till-the-end-of-time/ Thu, 27 Aug 2009 20:11:18 -0000 Till the End of Time by Patch Jones <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/patchjones/music/KjhDL0f2/patch-jones-till-the-end-of-time/"><img border="0" src="http://icons-p1.imeem.com/KjhDL0f2.jpg" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> Vvmlovdomv Patch Jones http://www.imeem.com/patchjones/music/chFgNJht/patch-jones-holy-donar/ Thu, 18 Jun 2009 02:02:42 -0000 Holy Donar by Patch Jones <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/patchjones/music/chFgNJht/patch-jones-holy-donar/"><img border="0" src="http://icons-p2.imeem.com/chFgNJht.jpg" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> zrPRU5SC0k Patch Jones http://www.imeem.com/patchjones/music/7mlHSTp0/patch-jones-heavy-4x4/ Sat, 06 Jun 2009 01:20:43 -0000 Heavy 4X4 by Patch Jones <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/patchjones/music/7mlHSTp0/patch-jones-heavy-4x4/"><img border="0" src="http://icons-p2.imeem.com/7mlHSTp0.jpg" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> Y7ImExoMqA Patch Jones http://www.imeem.com/patchjones/music/MiXZxR1C/patch-jones-mars-the-elixir-of-iron/ Tue, 05 May 2009 22:00:12 -0000 Mars - The Elixir of Iron by Patch Jones <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/patchjones/music/MiXZxR1C/patch-jones-mars-the-elixir-of-iron/"><img border="0" src="http://icons-p2.imeem.com/MiXZxR1C.jpg" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> LOMWuMCYQj Updates to playlist: Metal of the Planets Patch Jones Metal of the Planets http://www.imeem.com/patchjones/playlist/UXGdoJLL/metal-of-the-planets-music-playlist/ Sun, 03 May 2009 20:51:00 -0000 W6eOxsllVO
