The jealousy I have for my friends in Austin right now knows no bounds. So to make myself feel better, I’m going to be celebrating Austin talent this week.

ATX native Austin Leonard Jones contacted me a few months ago as he has played with a few friends that we have featured here. Now, I must admit that a lot of music is sent to me and most of it is just a drop in the bucket, so I’ve learned to not have high hopes. Fortunately Austin’s album is the shit! I received the album in the mail with a bunch of drawings and hand made packaging, and it sounds great. It has all of the token ATX vibes and sounds, which means it has all of the makings of music I enjoy.

Check out all the goodies he sent us below.

You can listen to the album here.

All the best to Austin Leonard Jones. We shall soon drink cheap beers together on a hot day.
