Name: Ballad of a Thin Man by Mr Jones
Duration: 5 min 59 s
Description: Another Dylan tune... This one just one of the reason's why Mr Jones is called Mr Jones.

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today... Because if you do it today and enjoy it, you can do it again tomorrow.

This is a song originally written by Steve Gibbons and appears on his Maintaining Radio Silence album.

Here is my interpretation of it.

Manyana (mañana)

Reworked and redone the vocals and arrangement on this. Added some backing vocals etc. Still don't know if it's finished... Like usual then.

These Lonely Streets (With backing vocals)

Always kind of liked The Proclaimers... Something completely genuine about their music... this is my cover of their 1988 tune and title track of their second album.

The Long Road Home

Sunshine On Leith (Remix3)

A Billy Bragg classic... Yup, the stripped down version... Not that there was anything wrong with Kirsty's version but just one bloke and a guitar is cool sometimes.

New England

Dylan... Maybe not a classic, but a great tune and as a long time wearer of long black coats, one that strikes a chord with me and Mr Jones

The Man in the Long Black Coat

Another Dylan tune... This one just one of the reason's why Mr Jones is called Mr Jones.

macbook's Album

Ballad of a Thin Man

Yet another quickly written and thrown together song.
It started off a bit Dylanesque but turned a little bit Elvis in the end.

Lesson Learned

Another slow song with a country(ish) feel.

Slow Train (keep on rolling)

This guitar part came to me a few weeks ago and yesterday I started work on writing something around it... This is the result so far... Of course, it's not finished yet... They never are.

And Maybe

Written and put together very quickly (You'll be able to tell).
