Sep 2024

since their self-titled debut in 1984. They were part of the soundtrack of my teen and early adult years. I lost interest in them musically for about the last decade or so because my tastes veered elsewhere, but I was still a supporter of Jon’s charity work. The JBJ Soul Kitchen, his support for the victims of Hurricane Katrina in my hometown, and his support for Democratic candidates among them. That being said, the new album is the best one they’ve released in ages.
