Description

In a Discograffiti first, my interview with Howard Jones focuses exclusively on the decade-plus period when he followed his musical dreams while the universe ignored him almost completely.  The Director’s Cut on our Patreon page also includes an in-depth, 30-minute, track-by-track discussion of his masterful debut, Humans Lib.  




Here’s just some of the many things Howard and I touch on in this podcast: 





  • Rare details on Howard’s very first band, the 1971 prog outfit Warrior;

  • Why the manager who broke him internationally initially turned him down before changing his mind;

  • And the ways in which Howard was able to stay grounded when an explosion of superstardom followed over a decade of obscurity!
