Freddy Jones Band

Thirty-plus years in, Freddy Jones Band still plays like they have something to prove, which is exactly why they haven't faded into the nostalgia circuit like so many of their peers. Led by founding member Marty Lloyd, the voice behind "In a Daydream," the group brings infectious melodics and hard-won live energy alongside newer material like "No Money in Vegas," produced by Grammy winner JJ Blair. This is American rock the way it was meant to feel — lived-in, loud in the right places, and anchored by a rhythm section that knows exactly what it's doing.
