“If you're in a husband-and-wife music duo living in Cascade and not making the sound you really want, what do you do? If you're Tom and Sarah Smith, you have Carl Hamilton (he apprenticed under John Bolin) build you a guitar, change your name from Blacksmith to Furious Jones and move to Nashville, Tenn. Tom is a classical guitar player, but when Sarah--originally from England--picked up drums about six years ago, they wanted to rock. Tom uses a pick on his new black-limba wood axe--called the Classical Smith--which allows him to get volume and sound without wearing through the body of his guitar. And the name change to Furious Jones not only stands out but better reflects the duo's attitude and Led Zeppelin-meets-Townes Van Zandt rock. "We're both shy, but we're in our element on stage," Sarah said laughing. "We're reclusive exhibitionists." ”

“When I first arrived, this band called Furious Jones was playing. I caught the last half of their material, and liked what I heard. Their sound could be best described as a fast paced, overdriven rock and punk meld. What was impressive was that they were only a 2-piece with a guitarist and drummer. Tom Smith’s vocals were pretty impressive and had a classic rock feel. Sarah Smith rocked some awesome beats, and gave the music a punk-like drive. Formally known as Blacksmith, they were passing out free CD’s to anyone who would take one. Hit them up on Facebook, MySpace. Or check out http://www.FuriousJonesMusic.com. ”

““Their amps send a bouquet of rock ‘n’roll, Hendrix style blues and 90’s grunge into the crowd. This album is chock full of anecdotes. Smith’s vocals sound like Jack White doing a Johnny Rotten impression – they have the White rasp and are yelled with the intensity exhibited in Rotten’s Sex Pistol days.” ”
