Leonard Jones

Austin Leonard Jones is a singing storyteller, spinning narratives based in fact and fiction with a penchant for writing country-flavored tunes that feel familiar from the get-go.  Born and raised in Texas, he currently calls Ojai, CA his home.  In the past year he’s released four albums on cassette tape: a live record, a collection of new songs called “Dead Calm,” and a ten-year retrospective in two volumes, called “The Wonder Years of Austin Leonard Jones” on Perpetual Doom records.  He’s the guy who helped to facilitate my season one interview with Bobby Frank Brown, one of the most popular episodes I’ve put out to date, and since then I’ve discovered Austin’s albums and I literally cannot stop listening and singing along.  I rank him along side my favorite American songwriters, right up there with Kris Kristofferson and David Berman.  You might have heard his live performance and interview from the Scherler Sundays 2022 concert series, if not, you might wanna check that out after this is over to get a double dose of goodies from this guy.  Today we’re talking tour stories, wholesome activities in Mexico, veggie burgers, the Beach Boys, being a strict band leader, and riding around in the pickup with his best friend Shenandoah.The illustration for this episode is by Lani Morrison.Low Profile is supported by you at patreon.com/lowprofileFind all episodes archived at lowprofilepodcast.comThanks to Olympia WA in-kind supporters Schwartz's Deli, San Francisco Street Bakery, Old School Pizzeria, Rainy Day Records and Scherler Easy Premium Shitty American Lager from Three Magnets Brewing Company.

For Episode 187 of Look At My Records!, Tom spoke with the prolific California-based songwriter Austin Leonard Jones. For the last decade-plus, Jones has released a string of great albums and EPs, exploring lo-fi pop, psychedelia, surf rock, and country. His songwriting journey is chronicled through his most recent release, The Wonder Years of Austin Leonard Jones Vol. 1 &amp; 2, a double cassette retrospective that compiles some of his standout tracks from 2010 to 2018.
