    Donovan's Brain

    Title: The micky jones tribute album -  Company: No label (Uk)  -  Cat No: mj-001

    Format: cd  -  Released: 2011  -  Status: limited edition

     

    Micky Jones, guitarist and singer for the legendary Welsh band Man passed away in early 2010 after a long illness. Ron Sanchez had championed the music of Man in the mid 70's. As a result they enjoyed a large following in the Bay Area, becoming radio favorites and a regular concert draw. Bill Graham took a liking to them, and offered them several high profile gigs. Ron produced their most sucessfull comeback album, Call Down The Moon.

    The Micky Jones Tribute was organized by Manfan, Martin Mycock. The seven artists appearing on this tribute are all members of the ManBand Forum. Donovan's Brain conribution is the only song sourced from Micky's solo work. Violin Thing was one of a handful of demos Micky recorded after the demise of Man in 1976. The backing track for this recording was assembled by Ron. Deniz added several layers of guitar to this. Deniz has managed to capture the spirit of Micky's guitar playing, an amazing feat, considering he's only had limited exposure to his music. All the proceeds from this album have been donated to charity.
