Howard Jones - In the Running (1992)

Send us Fan MailHoward Jones joins Jeff and Matt to discuss the 30th anniversary of his album, In the Running. It was his fifth release and marked a departure from his signature synth-driven style. There was a vulnerability to both the sound and the songwriting which made the record a really engaging listen. To date, it's probably one of his most underrated releases, so it was a pleasure to get a chance to discuss it with Howard.We also dig into the stories regarding Dialogue, his newest album, which will be released in September. Dialogue is the third album in a planned four album series and Jones tells us about how the series of work developed and has evolved.Howard Jones will be on the road this summer beginning in June for a series of concerts with Midge Ure. Both artists are touring with a band and this is a bill not to be missed.
