He was great when I saw him live, and I like his Mule cd(produced by the late NY Times writer and musician Robert Palmer who also wrote the liner notes) and his Pucker Up Buttercup effort.

The Clarion-Ledger

"Jones, a professional welder, was known for his unique style of rural blues, distinguished by its sense of urgency and droning guitars."

Yeah, that Mule disc is roxsome. Sorry to hear it. But like all those Fat Possum guys, I'm glad he got at least a little bit of a ride before he went.

For various reasons, I liked his albums way better than the others. Even more punk, sorta.

Shit! Who's going to rock the Wah now?
