Trad Arr Jones

Trad Arr Jones is a tribute album to Nic Jones by British-American folk singer John Wesley Harding. The album consists of Harding's covers of Jones' arrangements of eleven traditional songs, hence the album's title, which is short for "Traditional, Arranged by Jones".[1] It is very different from Harding's previous albums, partly because Harding used to dislike English folk music like Jones'.[2]
