In 2000, Jones recorded "A little bit of Heaven" under the band name Blues De-luxe, with fellow Cornish musician and long term friend Pete Flaskett. The album consisted of a selection of songs from the album Swimming pool as well as some new material written by Jones and Flaskett. Blues De-luxe took part in festivals and gigs around cornwall for several years. In 2001, Mooncrest Records reissued Alun Ashworth-Jones as a double CD with numerous, previously unissued, "bonus" tracks including live recordings from April 1969 with a full electric band, and five acoustic tracks recorded in 1971. His early works were reissued in 2007 on the Castle Records label as a double CD, All My Friends Are Back Again. Jones died suddenly and unexpectedly on 1 June 2008 at the age of 62.
