OK Jones

I get emails from bands looking for exposure on a regular basis. Most of them are pretty good bands, but not exactly the caliber I would recommend to you guys via this site. Once in a while I do get contacted by a band that I actually enjoy and I do not hesitate to point people in their direction. This is the case with OK Jones. They are from Lawrence, KS and they remind me of the Jayhawks, the Old 97s, and even early-era Wilco. Singer/songwriter Richard Gintowt's alt.country-tinged pop tunes are uncommonly enjoyable. Dodge over @ MOKB likes them too...that alone should be enough to convince you. Grab a few of these .MP3s from their new album Push/Pull and keep an eye out for these guys.
