Savage Heart

Their most exhilarating work to date, "The Savage Heart" expands the sonic remit of The Jim Jones Revue beyond their renowned brand of manic rock 'n' roll to explore a virtual "heart of darkness" of new musical territory in the form of tribal stomps, field hollers, a capella rave-ups -- even a fuzzed-out feedback-laden doo-wop ballad! "The Savage Heart" swaggers with all the balls-out rocking of its predecessors, but offers, too, an expansive vision of the band, with a wider palette of sounds and even socially conscious lyrics. "While the group look back into the roots of rock n' roll, we've never gone backwards in what we do," says Jim Jones. "It's always about pushing things forward for us."
