• KCRW - Los Angeles, California
  This California station is best known for playing a song one time, and one time only. We can only hope that they have played each and every track from "Better Days" that one time. Visit the site and leave a note for Nic.....he's the man!

• KHNS - Haines, Alaska
  Alaskan public radio that plays various tracks in between NPR spots.

• WERU - Blue Hill, Maine
  The community radio station that has "Better Days" in "heavy" rotation. Keep it there by calling 1-207-469-6600.

• WFMU - Jersey City, New Jersey
  100% listener-supported radio that has done more for modern music than any other station in America. Visit the Web site, look around and feel free to send Brian Turner or Pat Duncan an email; both guys are very familiar with Laurie and would love to hear your favorite Jones story.

• WFUV - Bronx, New York
  The leader in NYC radio. Jonatha Brook, Nora Jones and Shawn Colvin all owe their success to this gentle giant. There's a request line on the site. You can also email Rita Houston and Vin Scelsa directly; these two have let Laurie into their DJ worlds.

• WKIT - Bangor, Maine
  Stephen King's independently owned and operated commercial radio station where "Coffee Shop" remains in regular rotation. Email your request for "Coffee Shop" or call 1-800-287-1003.

• WMHB - Lewiston, Maine
  WMHB is the station of Colby College, where "Better Days" is climbing the Top 30 chart. From the Web site you can listen and request. We encourage you to do both.

• WMPG - Portland, Maine
  Before anyone paid Laurie any mind, this station was treating her with respect and like a star. The Portland "music scene" is still a bit impenetrable for reasons unknown, but WMPG remains a staunch ally. Call or email anytime and they will play anything you like.

• WNTI - Hackettstown, NJ
  Located in the mountains of western Jersey, this roaring radio station's Web site is fantastic and the variety of music is out of this world. Request something from Better Days by calling 908-852-4545 or by emailing Amanda, the Music Director at wntimd@aol.com.

• WRBC - Waterville, Maine
  Bates College's WBRC site also has a live feed where you can listen and request. Again, give them a listen and a call. Both Bates and Colby were featured in the first season of "The Sopranos" and continue to support trendsetting college radio!

• WRFR - Rockland, Maine
  Waiting for your phone call and money, this is a brand new community radio station operating on a low or no budget. Drop them an email as listeners rule the playlist.

• WUMF - Farmington, Maine
  The University of Maine at Farmington radio station does not have a Top 30 or available playlist, however they love to know that folks are listening, so don't be shy. You can email station manager Megan Littlefield and call the Request Line to hear any track off "Better Days."

• WWBX - Bangor, Maine
  B97 is a Clear Channel pop hits station...where two DJs have taken a fancy to "Rebound." Please email Melissa at MelissaonB97@yahoo.com and Bill at BillButler@clearcchannel.com. You can also call the request line at 207-941-9797.

• NEW! IT magazine: the rankin files by mark rankin
  "jones' voice dynamically ranges from purr to roar as she more aggressively expresses herself in this full band element...as for the band, the bass and drums were top dead center on the beat while the lead guitar rocked out as much as jones herself... i had to ask myself where the scouts have been" 4/05
  
  
• NEW! indie-music.com by brad wilson
  "she's got the guitar chops, voice with attitude, and most important, songs that can bring an audience to their feet and into high gear" 2/7/04
  
  
• NEW! kennebec journal/what's happening by lucky clark
  "jones has got a great voice that can switch from serious to sassy in a heartbeat" 1/16/04
  
  
• face december 2003 'the haynes files'
  "confessional rock with a nod to new wave...cool, cool, cool." 12/03
  
  
• goldmine magazine by lee zimmerman
  "jones' arrangements also betray the mark of an accomplished artist. given some well-deserved exposure, jones has the makings of a major star." 02/01
  
  
• indie-music.com by les reynolds
  "lyrically and instrumentally, this CD really clicks. the emphasis on drums and harmonica, along with good lyrics, make this somewhat different than most of what's "out there" these days -- somewhat better, actually." 02/01
  
  
• the lubec light by john maccarthy
  "as the musical antithesis of [her] first recording, after the crash may disappoint those with preconceived expectations, but most listeners will probably like it a lot, for one simple reason - it's very good." 10/00
  
  
• face magazine by sarah heifetz
  "with the recent release of her second album, after the crash, laurie jones has proven herself as a song-writer, a musician, and a vocalist. not only does the album capture the power and personality of jones, but also some essence of what it means to be human." 10/00
