Fern Jones was active for only a few years before disappearing from recording, leaving a slim body of music behind—but oh, what music. A vibrant singer with a big presence, Jones blurred the line between country and gospel, recording with Nashville pros in styles ranging from rockabilly to honky-tonk, investing everything with holy passion. This collection includes a scorching cover of “Strange Things Happening Every Day,” a bold biblical declaration called “I Do Believe,” and an easygoing take on her most beloved original, “I Was There When It Happened.”
