Pray for Me 4:21 ----- 37:27 ----- ôAll that I know how to do is take a pen and a sheet of paper or two, write a few words about peace and love, Louisiana and the heavens above; Bury me when I am gone, with my guitar and some cheap cologne, all thatÆs left is a pile of bones, remember me through the words of my song.ö û Jonathon Long æBury MeÆ The road to Samantha FishÆs Wild Heart Records winds along the Big Muddy through Baton Rouge, where young guitar players travel to learn from and experience the legacy left there by the likes of Buddy Guy, Kenny Neal, Tabby Thomas, LightninÆ Slim and so many others who fueled that vibrant blues scene going back decades into the last century. Eighteen years into century twenty-one, Baton Rouge born Jonathon Long (heÆs retired æBoogieÆ-more on that later) has claimed his own share of that legacy. He has mined, refined and re-defined his beloved blues for over half of his 29 years. The shuffles and homages to the KingÆs and CollinsÆs, along with his mastery of the red Gibson, have evolved into what will certainly be a milestone in that legacy, his third album, titled simply æJonathon LongÆ. Recorded in post-Mardi Gras New Orleans earlier this year at NOLA Recording Studios, æJonathon LongÆ, produced by 2018 Contemporary Female Blues Artist of the Year Samantha Fish, is an extra-ordinary collection of 11 songs, all written by Jonathon save for æThe RiverÆ, written by DetroitÆs Kenny Tudrick, a Samantha Fish cohort and drummer for the Detroit Cobras. Long is joined on the record by bandmates Chris Roberts on bass and Jullian Civello on drums, giving it a ælive in the studioÆ sonic signature.
