The only country artist named on Vevo’s coveted DSCVR "Artists to Watch" list for 2022, Willie Jones is serving up his own ‘2-Piece Combo’ of tunes today (11.19) via Sony Music Nashville in partnership with The Penthouse. The southern-sized helping of new music from the Louisiana native features two new songs, “Soul Food” + “Slow Cookin’” -- both available now.

On each track, the breakout newcomer “cooks up” his own taste of modern-day romance, complete with Jones’ smooth, baritone vocals fusing with his swampy, signature sound. Nodding to his Shreveport roots and the staples of southern cuisine, Jones is always coming back for seconds.

Tipping his hat to one of the best known country cooking songs of all time, “Slow Cookin’” also samples Hank Williams’ timeless tune, “Hey, Good Lookin’,” putting a modern, unexpected spin on the 1950s hit, while also calling out the legendary tunesmith in the lyrics.

Dubbed one of Pandora’s 2022 Country Artists to Watch, Jones’ ‘2-Piece Combo’ follows his feel-good anthem, "Get Low, Get High," and swampy, summertime jam, "Down By The Riverside," which garnered his second late-night TV appearance with a "rousing" (Rolling Stone) performance on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! earlier this year.
