High Atmosphere is the third album in the remarkable career arc of singer-songwriter Diana Jones. As Bill Friskics-Warren so aptly pointed out in his New York Times profile, Jones ‘approaches the mountain-ballad tradition not as a curiosity or antique - but as a renewable vernacular that’s just as capable of speaking to the human condition now as it was 80 years ago’.

The album she dedicated to her grandfather, My Remembrance of You, earned Jones a nomination as Best Emerging Artist at the Folk Alliance Awards, leading to tours with Richard Thompson and Mary Gauthier, appearances at folk festivals on both sides of the Atlantic, and covers of her songs by Gretchen Peters and Joan Baez.

“There’s some kind of channeling from some other lifetime going on,” Baez marveled. “I don’t know the answer to these things, but all I can think of is that it must come from some mysterious partof her soul.”
