Parallel Skies by Henry Jones

If James Taylor is the warm, familiar voice of our world’s backroads, Henry Jones is his echo in a parallel one, a place where memories linger longer, nights stretch quieter, and every story unfolds like a weathered map. "Parallel Skies" isn’t just a folk/Americana album; it’s a sonic journal of a man who walked the same dusty paths as Taylor but found different ghosts around every bend.
With an acoustic guitar as his compass and lyrics that cut straight to the bone, Henry Jones crafts songs about departures, porch lights left burning for no one, and rivers that keep their secrets. Each track is a faded photograph: "Reverse Moonlight" reflects an upside-down moon on still water, "The Last Porch Light" holds a flame in the dark, and "The Art of Leaving" closes the circle with the quiet finality of a door clicking shut. These are songs for those who’ve left something behind, or haven’t yet found the courage to walk away.
Inspired by James Taylor’s unassuming depth but steeped in a rawer, modern melancholy, "Parallel Skies" is the record you’d hear if you could peek through a crack between dimensions. Here, folk isn’t just a genre, it’s a language of unspoken things, of cold morning coffee and worn-out boots that still smell of old journeys.
Recorded with the intimacy of a midnight confession, this album is for anyone who believes the best stories fit inside a song. If James Taylor is the cozy embrace after a long day, Henry Jones is the flickering light at the end of the hall, urging you forward, even when the path isn’t clear.

For fans of:
James Taylor, Greg Brown, and those moments when music feels like it’s whispering just to you.

"There’s something magical in how Henry Jones turns ache into beauty. 'Parallel Skies' is the kind of album you hear and think, ‘This is my story, too.’"
