{"product_id":"if-all-i-ever-wanted-was-all-i-ever-needed","title":"If All I Ever Wanted Was All I Ever Needed","description":"\u003cp\u003eJon Coley is something of an underground figure in Manchester's music scene. Combining soul and folk with intelligent original songwriting, and admired for his unique guitar playing (taking influence from performers such as Nick Drake, Bert Jansch, Wizz Jones and especially John Martyn) and for his passionate vocal performances, reminiscent of Van Morrison and Amos Lee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"If All I Ever Wanted Was All I Ever Needed\" is his strikingly pure, heart-wide-open debut album. Opening with the Tracey Chapman-esque, \"Higher Ground\" it's obvious from the start there's a warm and healing magic to Jon's voice; the mere sounding of the record certain to rekindle forgotten memories of happy times like flames around a campfire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJon's guitar and voice seem unseperable throughout; symbiotically elevating each other beyond their instrument's solo limitations. And his vocal range - wow! - I mean, Jon where were you hiding such an angelic falsetto?! Like golden honey flowing over polished leather, the slight gravly inflections like proplis in this sonic royal jelly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccompanying Jon, a beautifully intimate team of backing muscians and vocalists (all credited on the record's sleeve) which add finedrawn, unforced dynamics to this otherwise one-man operation which in parts drifts in to Mazzy Star-esque depths of emotion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you're looking for a charismatic and heart warming troubadour to keep you company over the coming Autumn months then look no further! Highly recommended by us all here at Piccadilly Records.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJon has played alongside John Renbourn, Blind Boy Paxton, Michael Chapman, Ralph McTell, Jon Gomm, Wizz Jones, Dylan LeBlanc, Chance McCoy and shared a stage and billing with many more, including Foss Patterson and Danny Thompson of John Martyn's band at venues as varied as New York's Bitter End Club, and Liverpool's Echo Arena. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jon Coley Music","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50454058238283,"sku":"1170764","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/68fefb92-c275-455e-a705-5efd1a8b0d65_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727180317","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/if-all-i-ever-wanted-was-all-i-ever-needed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
