His
fresh new release “To Dance To” was dropped on June
16, Willie could hardly wait for his major label album debut and
eponymous lead release. Arriving via Sony Music Nashville in partnership
with The Penthouse, each of the album’s 11 tracks delve into
a new emotional facet but carry a central theme of finding you
in life’s experiences. It’s a celebration of all the
highs and lows, the loves and losses, the starts and ends, and
the connective tissue of just being human.
Willie’s
music has that traditional country soundscapes of steel guitar,
banjo, and harmonica along with Jones’ signature Louisiana
hip-hop gumbo. The sonic heart felt beats reflects a man whose
upbringing molded him into an innovator who bridges the Trail
Rides, Block Parties, and the Barn Dances. Get that sample of
Hank Williams’ “Hey Good Looking” that opens flirty
hip-swinger “Slow Cookin’” or the warped banjo
riff found on slow burn jam “No Tellin’.” For the
creative behind it all, it represents a story of growth and progress
indicative of his own evolution. The album dissects all of me,
he says. It’s the turnt up Willie Jones, broken-hearted,
being a little irresponsible, bringing the party, or just realizing
that all of this is a temporary moment in time and I’m growing
and hopefully learning.
