Category: JOEY C. JONES

Singer / songwriter JOEY C. JONES first made his mark with big hair and a big voice fronting ’80s Sunset Strip favorites Sweet Savage. After leaving Savage, Joey joined up with Ohio rockers Shock Tu, then found success and MTV exposure in the ’90s with Joey C Jones & The Gloryhounds. In the late ’90s, Joey revealed a new side to his pop-rock persona with the sonically ambitious Orange Helicopter and hard rockers Crabtree.
Joey C. Jones passed away on March 15, 2022 after a battle with cancer for a number of years, so this Demon Doll Records reissue of the self-titled album with his band Crabtree is a fitting tribute to this diverse artist.
Originally self released at the end of the Nineties, the album ”Crabtree” now has been fully remastered by Demon Doll Records as “The Crabtree Sessions” featuring the complete album sessions including 5 bonus tracks.

After rocking in the ’80s Sunset Strip scene fronting SWEET SAVAGE, vocalist JOEY C. JONES was part of different projects, one of these named NEEDLE PARK, the short-lived band of ex POISON guitarist C.C. DeVille. Then Jones and drummer in that band, Adam Hamilton (who later would play bass for LA GUNS), put together JOEY C. JONES And The Glory Hounds.
The band’s self-titled debut CD came out on small label TNT Records in 1993, a time when radio and MTV stop playing this type of music so it went largely unnoticed. Fortunately, the album has been recently reissued.
And the type of music into ”Joey C. Jones And The Glory Hounds” is catchy melodic rock / pop-rock plenty of melodies and hooky choruses – some kind of a mix between CHEAP TRICK, POISON, ENUFF Z’ NUFF, etc…
