Reviews "Motorist Jones is one of Dallas' most authentic, genuine and creative roots rock bands. They are equally at home making simple melodies, as well as hitting hard with powerful rock riffs. Their superb musicianship is only overshadowed by their likable stage presence and striking songwriting. We should all certainly be keeping an eye on this band, because they are a rising force to be reckoned with." -Richard Kentopp, President Judah Records Staff writer - www.tinymixtapes.com "Motorist Jones' style is undeniably their own, with soulful and pensive vocals painting a musical dreamscape outlined with tasty bass riffs and intricate guitar, all laid perfectly atop stylish drums. Fans of Dylan, fans of Pearl Jam, fans of just about anything need to freshen their ears with Motorist Jones." - Darren Burgfield, Texas representative for Emergenza International Music Festival
