Biography
Jones was born in
In 1995 and 1996, Jones performed outside of Mississippi, when he was a member of Fat Possum's "Mississippi Juke Joint Caravan".[1][3] His 1995 debut album, Mule, was produced by the music critic Robert Palmer.[1] On the album he was accompanied by drummer Sam Carr, and guitarist Big Jack Johnson.[1] Fat Possum (an independent record label in Oxford, Mississippi), as well as managing the latter careers of Junior Kimbrough and R. L. Burnside, gave opportunity to a number of amateurs, mostly from rural Mississippi, who had seldom or never recorded before. Some, such as T-Model Ford and Asie Payton, moved on to higher billing, but others such as Jones, were left on the sidelines.[3]
Jones died of cancer, at the age of 59, in Jackson, Mississippi, in October 2005.[4]
