"After several years of intensive touring I realised some songs were being requested and downloaded far more than others from my CD and song catalog so 21 years is a compilation of those tracks with a single release called "Awake" recorded in a collaboration with my old Heavy Metal band mate Gootch for a great bonus track. I realise for fans there is some overlap between this "Best Of" collection and other records but felt this worth doing to create an Album of Audience selected tracks completely remastered by Tim Jessup. As producer for Chicago Tim developed a great set of audio tools to beef up and enhance the audio on my most popular songs because I believe it's worth investing in fans favourite music and making it available with the highest quality audio available and that's why I feel 21 years is such a great record , the noise and hum cancellation was removed from live recordings and studio work given increased dynamic range and compression for punch . That's exactly what this record is . A punch in the face collection of songs made into Hits by a working musicians fans ". Karl Jones Flagstaff Live wrote; With his iTunes releases combined with total dedication to local live performances & relentless touring in the South West U.S.A & Bay Area gigs has made Karl Jones & His studio album/band "Dublin Soul" "the most downloaded Irish Folk & Indie Artist in Arizona" according to Rhapsody & iTunes. Ireland has no doubt produced some quality exports, Jameson Whiskey, Bono and James Joyce. Among Northern Arizona's prime examples of the great Irish musical tradition is Sedona resident Karl Jones. Originally from Ballinteer, a south side suburb of Dublin, Jones began his international musical pub crawl playing Irish ballads in primary (grade) school. Since then he has traveled the U.S. repping the Emerald Isle to all us yanks, but returns home to reconnect with his roots and re hone his musical chops. As a guitarist and songwriter, Jones expertly combines the folk traditions of his home with the rock, rhythm and blues that Van Morrison and U2 so potently injected into Irish music decades ago, National Public Radio by Ryan Heinsus of "Flagstaff Live" Karl performs in Sedona every Wednesday at Oak Creek Brewing company .
