Albums

Thelma Jones (1978)

thelmajones

Thelma Jones’ first brilliant album, released on Columbia in 1978, produced by Bert DeCoteaux with the addition of the Brad Shapiro-produced classic “Salty Tears.” Thelma’s soulful vocals are incredible — very much in a traditional R&B mode; includes the first-ever U.S. liner notes by David Nathan. Two bonus cuts on this CD debut of this amazing album.

Close To The Ground (1999)

Close To The Ground is a Soul flavored album produced by Miss Thelma herself that features a powerful version of Midnight Train To Georgia and a hauntingly beautiful rendition of The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.

Law Of Old (2002)

lawofold

A blues-flavored album that features top class L.A. musicians and showcases Thelma’s distinctive vocal style and includes one of her own compositions, the superb title cut.
