Jim Jones All StarsJim Jones All Stars

VF Presents... A bubbling swamp curse of unholy rhythm, Jim Jones All Stars is the latest project from garage godfather Jim Jones (, ). Formed during the pandemic, it features  members Gavin Jay and Elliot Mortimer, drummer Chris Ellul form (), veteran punk guitarist Carlton Mounsher (The Swamps), and a full horn section.  After a midnight offering at the real crossroads in Clarksdale, Mississippi, the band made the pilgrimage to Memphis, Tennessee to record with Memphis Magnetic founder Scott McEwen ( , , , ) in May of 2022. Produced by John Getze and mastered by Grammy Award winner Randy Merrill, the resulting LP “Ain’ No Peril” is a thick, greasy slab of Rama lama rhythm and blues that highlights some of Jones's most inspired songwriting ever and features guest appearances from vocal powerhouse Nikki Hill and ’s Eugene S. Robinson. “When you’re recording within spitting distance of the Mississippi River, there’s something about that heavy Memphis air that changes the way that you hear the groove and grind,” says Jim Jones. ‘Ain’t No Peril’ captures that feeling and bathes in that magic.”
