Review
by Tim Sheridan
A solid effort from this guitar-rock outfit. While Christopher Spruill's vocals rely heavily on bluster for effect, there is a nice balance to the flow of the album, from hard rockers to pleading ballads. If you miss the Outsiders, you'll feel like you found an old friend.

Biography
By Jason Ankeny
Comprised of singer Christopher Sprull, guitarists Jason Marks and Dave Dicke, bassist Alan Callahan, and drummer Scott MacConnell, Far Too Jones emerged from Raleigh, NC, quickly becoming one of the Southeast region's most popular touring bands. A year after issuing their self-titled debut CD in mid-1995, they released Crawling Out from Under; a follow-up EP, Plastic Hero, yielded the local hit "Falling Back Down," the success of which resulted in a deal with the Mammoth label. Picture Postcard Walls, Far Too Jones' Mammoth debut, appeared in 1998. Shame and Her Sister was issued two years later.
