Press Reviews Music Monthly - July 1999 Vol 16, No 7, issue #178 "The songs on "All You Need To Know" are basically catchy, Tim McFadden's vocals are sexy and appealing and the sound from the rest of the "Jones gang" is solid and mature." There's definitely plenty to like on this CD, from ballads to upbeat numbers that delve into lost love or innocence ("The Man Who Lost His Heart"), life's struggles ("House Of Need"), the search for answers in a relationship ("This Is All You Get"), and life's contrasts (Doin' The Walk). Mary Guiden Breakthrough Connections - The open minded web site (Reviewed by "Rock & Roll" Dave 3/29/99) Reality Jones is a Baltimore based original pop/rock band fronted by singer/songwriter Tim McFadden who adds acoustic guitar and harmonica also. Tom Russell adds the lead guitar. Former Fire Monkey members, Tim Fowler on bass guitar and vocals, and Jon Peck on drums round out the band. Guest appearances by Mookie Siegel on Hammond Organ and keyboards and Paul Buono on electric/acoustic guitars, vocals and keyboard. Tim McFadden sings with soul and feeling with his powerful rough voice. The CD contains a variety of music from the moderate pop of "Man Who Lost His Heart" to the choppy rhythm of "House of Need". "I Need Someone" is one of my favorites, a light rock tune with a nice hook in the background vocals. The guitar work on the CD is creative and versatile. Good job Tom! "Break the Silence" is another favorite. Good pulse and vocal phrasing. One of the heavier songs on the CD. "Will Work for Food" is the socially-conscience song of the CD. The music matches the concept. "Doin' the Walk", kind of funky with great keyboards that shoot in and out of the melody. "This Is All You Get" has good lyrics and a nice harmonica part that gives it a laid back earthly feel. Overall this is a very good CD. The musicians are accomplished and work well together in the presentation. "Rock & Roll Dave"
