The Hezekiah Jones Cover Club session had been in the works for over a year when it was recorded in early April of this year at Cambridge Sound Studios. Since it was first discussed, a lot has changed in that time, but one thing that hasn’t is Johnny Miles place among the band as a favorite artist.
According to Raph of Hezekiah Jones, “Johnny Miles is a songwriting hero and I am honored to also call him a friend. It was hard to pick just one song from such a prolific and talented writer.” Raph explained, “Sailors” is off of Sign of the Times; one of my all time favorite albums. Johnny Miles’ lyrics melt me.
The session was recorded in April at Jim Salamone‘s Cambridge Sound Studios with Matthew Phillips, Todd Mecaughey, and Alex Kopertowski.

In less than two weeks, patron fans who supported the band via their PledgeMusic campaign will be receiving their digital downloads for new music!!!! The Pledge Release is set(if all goes well!) for July 17th Digital and end of July/early August for receiving Physical Copies of In Loving Memory of oosi Lockjaw. Fear not, if you are digging your early taste of the album with the Cover Club version of “Spare the Wicked”, the last day to go to Pledgemusic.com and pledge for any special orders is July 17th. If not, after that you wait til November. A few final options remain, but signed copies of In Loving Memory of oosi Lockjaw, signed vinyl of ‘Have You Seen Our New Fort?‘ and , signed typed lyrics are still available.
In Loving Memory of oosi Lockjaw, which was recorded at/mixed with Matt Muir, Andrew Lipke, Brian McTear, Chris Dell’Osa, and Jim Salamone at Kawari, The Record Lounge, Miner Street, Haverhouse, and Cambridge Sound Studios respectively. is meant as a gently loving exorcism(letting go) of the peaceful/wrathful, latent/active, ghosts/demons(impressions/false understandings), that haunt our subtler bodies(spirit/astral/psychic) and which are yearning to be free from us as well.
The Cover Club Session original “Spare the Wicked”, gives a taste of the first Hezekiah Jones full length in about 3 1/2 years since Have You Seen Our New Fort? For fans that didn’t jump on the opportunity to pledge for the new album this will be the first new Hezekiah Jones material since the two instrumentals for the Multimedia book ‘Slice of Life‘ last year. Written by Raphael Cutrufello, he explains “Spare the wicked” asks to spare us all. There is not a being on this planet that doesn’t struggle and is not worth redeeming.”
