Pete Feenstra talks to Paul Jones, actor, radio presenter, and one of Britains most loved vocalists with Manfred Mann and lately The Blues Band and The Manfreds, about the new album Starting All Over Again,. The album features guests Eric Clapton, Michael Rickfors, and Percy Sledge.
Produced by Carla Olson (Joe Louis Waker, Phil Upchurch, Taj Mahal) the contemporary album infuses blues, rock, pop, and acoustic roots styles............

Paul Jones is known to many as the singer and heart-throb of the British Invasion band Manfred Mann — the voice on mid-'60s hits like "Do Wah Diddy, " "Pretty Flamingo, " "Come Tomorrow" and "Sha La La."

Backing Jones on the project are musicians of no small esteem: Eric Clapton plays guitar on two tracks ("Choose or Cop Out" and "Starting All Over Again") and is joined by Jake Andrews, guitar; Tony Marsico (Plugz, Cruzados, Neil Young, John Doe, Peter Case), bass; Alvino Bennett (LTD, Stevie Wonder, Bryan Ferry, Dave Mason), drums; Mike Thompson (Eagles, Don Henley), piano and Hammond B3 organ; Ernie Watts (Rolling Stones, Thelonious Monk, Steely Dan), saxophone; Darrell Leonard (Duane Allman, Freddie King, Smokey Robinson), trumpet; Tom Junior Moran (Percy Sledge, Mick Taylor, Phil Seymour), saxophone; Mikael Rickfors (The Hollies), backing vocals; Jake Andrews and several others.

The producer is Carla Olson, who has produced albums or tracks by Joe Louis Walker, Phil Upchurch, Otis Rush, The Ventures, Taj Mahal and a host of others, and who has recorded with Ry Cooder, Don Henley, Eric Johnson, John Fogerty, Mick Taylor and Gene Clark. The new album features "Lover To Cry, " penned by Jake Andrews, guitarist on most of the album; "If You Love Me (Like You Say)" by bluesman Little Johnnie Taylor; "Choose or Cop Out, " a Jones original featuring Clapton; the title track "Starting All Over Again" by Stax soul star Johnnie Taylor, also featuring Clapton; "I'm Gone, " originated by the Swedish band The Creeps; "Philosopher's Stone, " a Van Morrison song; "Need to Know, " written by British and Nigerian artist Ola Onabule; "Gratefully Blue, " an Eric Bibb composition; "When He Comes, " written by Jones with ex-Hollies member Mikael Rickfors; and an instrumental, "Alvino's Entourage." Also included is a bonus track, "Big Blue Diamonds, " a duet between Jones and Percy Sledge culled from Sledge's 2004 Shining Through the Rain album.
