About Me

New EP 'Postcards From Deadeye?' is released!
Deadeye is a place you don't want to go. A burnt-out town in a long-forgotten parallel universe. Here men wear Stetsons, play videogames, drink cactus wine, ride coyotes and spit blood. The five songs on this EP are as close to Deadeye as you're going to want to get...
The new 5-track Muleskinner Jones EP 'Postcards From Deadeye' is now available. Lovingly hand-made and individually numbered/signed CD-Rs can be bought direct from Mr. Jones (see below). You can even get it for free if you buy a copy of the 'Alcohol Tobacco Raygun?' LP.
Alternatively, those of you with a hankering for this new-fangled digital shite will be pleased to know that Mr. Jones entire works are now available on emusic.com and iTunes , and most other download services.
For MP3 clips of all tracks visit the website
Remember, every CD bought is another nail in the stinking coffin of corporate crapola. Mr. Jones appreciates your support of independent music. All these prices include shipping!. To buy just click on the appropriate 'buy international' or 'buy uk' button below.
Note: 'Postcards From Deadeye' is supplied as a lovingly hand-made and individually numbered/signed CD-R. All other release are commercially pressed and factory-sealed CDs.
