The 2013 debut album by Florida-based Americana singer-songwriter Laney Jones is Golden Road.
Jones released Golden Road on July 12, 2013, under the name Laney Jones and the Spirits. She self-produced the recording with Matthew Tonner, and the album blends folk, bluegrass, roots rock, and Americana. Jones contributed vocals and played banjo, ukulele, harmonica, and kazoo.
The album’s credits show a broad acoustic ensemble, including fiddle, mandolin, cello, bass, drums, and backing vocals. That instrumentation helps explain why the record can be described with several overlapping genre labels, although the question’s Americana classification is a fair summary.
A common mix-up is confusing Golden Road with later releases such as Laney Jones, released in 2016, or with individual songs from her growing catalog. Golden Road is the title of the 2013 first studio album that introduced her as a recording artist.
