Here Come The Nice

KENNEY JONES is on a mission. The 72-year-old drummer has just launched his own label, Nice Records, in order to release rare and unheard recordings from his illustrious career with Small Faces, Faces and The Who, plus a wealth of material from session work with other artists at London’s Olympic Studios.

The bulk of this mouth-watering trove comes from Jones’s private archive,. “Luckily some fans were very loyal and honest. They came to me and said, ‘We think you should have it.’ There’s some amazing stuff planned for Nice Records in the coming months. You want to try to be as honest with the fans as possible and give them something they haven’t heard before. I’ve always really loved the [] track ‘Here Come The Nice’. That title was rattling about my head when I thought about starting the label a few years back.”
