World renown Portland Oregon roots artist Lloyd Jones has recorded six critically acclaimed albums, toured internationally, and racked up dozens of major awards and accolades. In April 2011 Lloyd released his seventh CD 'Highway Bound Lloyd Jones Traditional Folk Blues' was released on the Seattle based Underworld Records. Since then it has found itself on the Blues Charts from its very respectable radio play across the USA, Canada, Europe and Australia.

This is the new release from Lloyd's 2010 sessions at Seattle's Mouse Recording Studio with his Martin 0018, Regal Steal Body, Danelectro Guitars and his Mighty Red Plate Amp; and is an amazing intimate production paying respect, simply and honestly, to some of Lloyd's favorite Folk Blues.

Currently Lloyd latest CD "Highway Bound" is nominated for consideration for both the Folk Blues - Blues Foundation Award and a Blues category GRAMMY!

Lloyd is a relentless road dog, hitting festival stages, Delbert’s annual Sandy Beaches Cruises (he’s been a regular on six winter cruises), and clubs all across the land to enthusiastic crowds who can’t get enough of his swampy blues, his back porch picking, his serious-as-anthrax funk, soul, roadhouse two-beats, and old-school rhythm and blues.
