Info for Moonstruck

Im Jahre 1982 kam ein damals 24jähriger Gitarrist namens Chris Jones in unser Northeimer Studio, um 10 Titel für eine Schallplattenproduktion aufzunehmen. An 2"-Mehrspurmaschine und Mischpult: Günter Pauler. Und schon damals war es bei unseren Produktionen üblich, dass Studiomusiker sich dazugesellten, um klangliche Farbtupfer beizusteuern. Auf diesem Album namens "No Looking Back" hört man unter anderen Oss Rentz (Hein & Oss) mit Gesang, John Heinrich an der Pedal-Steel, Wojtek Bolimowski auf der Violine, Hans-Jörg Maucksch mit dem Fretless-Bass.

Damals begann die wunderbar kreative Zusammenarbeit zwischen Stockfisch-Records und dem genialen Gitarristen Chris Jones - und sie sollte mehr als zwei Jahrzehnte währen.

Anlässlich der Veröffentlichung schrieb Chris: "My first LP (yes, it was before CDs existed!) Although my vocals have improved over the years, not that much has changed since 1982, other than me getting old and fat. The songs are still personal (maybe even more so, I've lived and learned a lot in those 17 years) and the music means just as much to me now as it did back then."

Chris Jones
His unusual career began at the age of 14, when he was awarded the „Young Composer of the Year“ prize at the renowned Peabody Conservatory in Maryland, USA. By the early 1980s he had already made a name for himself with his unique guitar style, which ranged from sensitive ballad renditions to driving rockers, his soulful vocals and impressive songwriting talents. As well as countless recordings as a studio musician, Jones released three solo albums. Despite his death at the early age of 46, Chris Jones left a legacy which will be remembered long after he‘s gone." Steve Baker
