With gentle guitar melodies, thoughtful lyrics, and reverberating dobro and accordion, Bruce Jones’ latest record, Home, brings together longtime musician pals for 10 reflections on modern living and mortality. Though Jones and friends sing the “21st Century Blues” and the “Ugly Old Man Blues” too, a sense of good-humored curiosity and appreciation for the little things pervades this collection of far more than sadness. At NeWorlDeli, Greg Lowery, Chico Oropeza, Mike Roberts, Melinda Brooks, and Jeanne Kyser take the stage with Jones to savor these heartfelt tunes and usher Home into the world. – Caroline Drew
