For almost 20 years, Carly and Graeme from England’s Lake District, have been rocking the music scene with their shared love of country and folk. They call themselves Pearl and the Piano, and their latest song, “Mrs Jones,” is a real heart-wrencher.

This isn’t your usual happy tune. It’s a gut punch, a deep dive into the messy, heartbreaking reality of partners battling alcohol and addiction. If you’ve ever faced that tough road, this song might hit you right in the gut.

One cannot help but draw parallels to the timeless classic Mr and Mrs Jones. While Billy Paul’s rendition painted a picture of a clandestine affair, ‘Mrs Jones’ takes a different route. It reveals the struggles of a relationship plagued by addiction.

Carly and Graeme spin a soulful web of country and Americana in “Mrs Jones.” Plus, they draw listeners deep into the song’s emotional tune. The live band, which includes Simon Kidson and Kev Graham, enthralls audiences with a blend of songs and stories while incorporating a rhythmic heartbeat into their performances.

Mrs. Jones: Beyond Music.

As Carly relates the Mrs. Jones story, every note that Graeme plays creates a picture. This gives Carly’s strong voice more depth. The song, which was made available in April 2023, is evidence of the pair’s ability to convey unadulterated emotion through music.

The first song from the duo, a rendition of Damien Rice’s ‘Cannonball,’ highlighted their skill in interpretation. In contrast, ‘Mrs Jones’ takes a step into the world of creating original music, establishing Pearl and the Piano as genuine storytellers in the music scene.

In a world where music often serves as a backdrop, Pearl and the Piano demand attention. ‘Mrs Jones’ is a musical embrace for anyone who has grappled with the complexities of love, addiction, and the pursuit of happiness. Pearl and the Piano’s musical prowess is evident in the sets of stories and songs they perform. More importantly, the duo never fail to astonish audiences.
