Pop singer
Marti Jones first emerged as the frontwoman of the group Color Me Gone before issuing her solo debut Unsophisticated Time -- produced by future husband
Don Dixon -- in 1985. Though the recipient of widespread critical acclaim,
Jones found little commercial success with LPs like 1986's
Match Game (recorded with guests
Mitch Easter, T-Bone Burnett, and
Darlene Love) and 1988's Used Guitars (featuring contributions from
Marshall Crenshaw and
Janis Ian), and she was dropped by her label, A&M. After signing to RCA for 1990's
Any Kind of Lie,
Jones disappeared from sight before signing to Sugar Hill and returning in 1996 with a pair of new releases,
Live at Spirit Square and
My Long-Haired Life. In 2002 her album My Tidy Doily Dream (another release produced by husband
Don Dixon) appeared on the Dixon Archival Remnants label, but
Jones subsequently focused much of her creative energy on painting, under the name
Marti Jones Dixon. Lucky Stars: New Lullabies for Old Souls, an album credited to the husband-and-wife duo of
Marti Jones and
Don Dixon, was made available for digital download in March 2008. ~ Jason Ankeny
