�Increasingly compared to the likes of Iris DeMent and Gillian Welch, Jones just might be the best American songwriter most people have never heard of." Chicago Tribune

"It goes without saying, Diana Jones is a consummate singer and writer,who totally charms audiences. What sets her apart - and this is the highest praise in a crowded music profession - is her originality. Her music doesn't sound like anyone else's." Richard Thompson

Diana Jones had released two finely crafted albums in the 1990s, but it wasn�t until she released My Remembrance of You in 2006 that she found her own voice. She had discovered a connection, both biological and artistic, to the sounds of old-time Appalachia, unleashing her private muse and creating a critically acclaimed record. The three years since that breakthrough have been a whirlwind. Diana has landed the opening slot on high-profile European tours with Richard Thompson and Mary Gauthier and has been the featured invitee at folk festivals in the US, the UK and Ireland.

One of her new songs, �Henry Russell's Last Words,� has been recorded by Joan Baez, while another, �If I Had a Gun," has been recorded by Gretchen Peters. Diana�s own versions of those songs can be heard on her new album, Better Times Will Come (due for release in Febuary 2009), an ambitious effort that consolidates and extends the leap forward of the preceding record.

�The best album I�ve heard in months and months�An absolute gem.� Bob Harris, BBC 2
