In part one, Chris, Travis, and I talk about the orgins of their band, the appeal of house concerts, and how changes in the industry (and rising gas prices) have affected touring decisions and even the lineup at folk festivals. In part two, Chris and Travis play the title track from &#8220;Calico Heart&#8221;, and a new song, &#8220;If Not for the Darkness&#8221;, which will be on their upcoming gospel record.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/media\/hj.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Houston Jones<\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n<p><strong>Contest Announcement:<\/strong> Want to win a copy of Houston Jones&#8217; latest release, &#8220;Calico Heart?&#8221; Listen to this interview for details.
