Jones and Leva Light Enough To Find My Way (CD)

(Rounder Records) 12 tracks

The music of Carol Elizabeth Jones and James Leva clearly falls into the category of old-time country, but is by no means limited to this term. It is nourished and strengthened by their connection to this tradition. These songs may be new, but they have already stood the test of time. And these voices! These people love to sing, and the combination of their voices is a joy to the ears: The purity of tone and attention to detail in the phrasing never sound forced or rehearsed, but achieve a freedom and emotional depth that is all too rare to find. - Laurie Lewis “James and Carol Elizabeth know and respect the deep roots of country music. Their own songs reflect and reinforce these classic sounds and themes, providing the listener with an indispensable modern perspective.” - Tim O'Brien
