Laurence Jones Releases Debut Solo Album ‘On My Own’
Renowned Blues Rock musician Laurence Jones is set to release his most personal project yet, his inaugural solo acoustic album titled “On My Own,” on January 23rd, 2026. This profound album delves into his recent health battles and brings him back to his musical roots where his journey began.
After enduring a challenging year coping with Crohn’s disease, Jones poured his raw emotions and experiences into this album. The songs on “On My Own” reflect his struggles with the invisible illness, love, and life on the road. Jones sees this album as a testament to his resilience and a chance for artistic rebirth.
Facing restrictions on his high-energy live performances due to his health, Jones found a new creative outlet in acoustic music. This shift in his musical style allowed him to express a more vulnerable and organic side of himself, providing fans with a fresh perspective on his artistry. As an ambassador for Crohn’s & Colitis UK, he hopes his music will resonate with others battling similar health challenges.
The album’s lead single, also titled “On My Own,” served as a catalyst for the entire project. Written and recorded during a particularly challenging time, this song was Jones’ way of pushing through the pain and fatigue caused by his illness. The emotional depth and authenticity of the track reflect his personal struggles.
Taking a DIY approach to his career, Jones established his own label, Ron Records, and organized his upcoming tour independently. Each show has been meticulously planned to accommodate his health needs while offering audiences an intimate and soul-stirring performance.
“On My Own” is a narrative-driven album that seamlessly blends traditional blues with heartfelt storytelling. Drawing from his classical guitar training and lifelong passion for the blues, Jones pays homage to his musical influences while crafting a deeply personal record.
Produced in collaboration with acclaimed musician Wayne Proctor, “On My Own” allowed Jones to explore his voice in new ways. Proctor’s understanding of the blues genre and his collaborative spirit enhanced the authenticity of the album, making it a standout moment in Jones’ career.
Accompanied by his fiancée Amy Eftekhari on tour, Jones will showcase a more intimate side of his artistry. Collaborating with Amy on her debut EP, the couple will share a special love song, marking a significant milestone in their personal and professional lives.
Despite his health challenges, Jones has garnered widespread acclaim and success in the music industry. With chart-topping albums, accolades, and performances alongside music legends, he has solidified his status as one of the top blues rock guitarists in the world. However, with “On My Own,” Jones aims to reconnect with his musical roots and share his story in its rawest form.
As he prepares to embark on his solo tour in 2026, Jones invites fans to join him on a heartfelt musical journey. Through stripped-down performances and authentic storytelling, he aims to create a transformative and unforgettable experience for audiences worldwide.
