Annotation
Released on Huey P. Meaux's Texas based label, probably around 1970-1971 (based on the label discography) was the track "(We Break) The Rules Made for Man" (Jet Stream Records # 801) by Ramona Jones. This track made a general criticism of world affairs, complaining about the lack of "brotherly love, every heart made of stone". It referenced the war, the narrator saying that she is not surprised that "we've been fighting over there in Vietnam". She called on people to "wake up" because there was "a lot to be done".

About the artist
Unknown - the record is "Shows All Over Your Face" / "(We Break) The Rules Made For Man" (Jetstream Records 801, US, 1970), credited on the label as "Romona Jones" and produced by Huey P. Meaux under his Crazy Cajun Music imprint - a Gulf Coast funk-soul production. Discogs disambiguates the credit as a distinct entity from the old-time fiddler Ramona Jones (1924-2015, wife of Grandpa Jones), whose documented discography - checked directly - is entirely old-time and bluegrass material and does not contain this title; genre, producer and label ecosystem all argue against that identification.…
