Guitarist and singer/songwriter Johnny Jones writes and sings about thoroughly modern themes in a tradition-based blues style. The Nashville-based Jones is one of a handful of veteran, virtuoso bluesmen who are local heroes on the Nashville blues scene, which is surprisingly healthy given Nashville's legacy as a home for country music.
Jones was born in 1936 and moved to Memphis at age 13. He moved with his mother to Chicago in the early '50s, in time to learn from and share stages with the likes of Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf. For a time, Jones shared an apartment with harmonica player Walter McCollum, and together, the pair formed a small group that worked regularly with harmonica player Junior Wells and guitarist Freddie King.
After tiring of long Chicago winters, Jones moved south again, this time to Nashville, to pursue a career as a studio guitarist. He formed a band in the early '60s, the Imperial Seven. That band worked regularly at the famous New Era Club in Nashville. While working in studios with the Imperial Seven, blues-rock master Jimi Hendrix would come sit in from time to time. Also in the 1960s, Jones played rhythm guitar along with Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown in the house band for a Dallas TV show, The Beat.
In 1968 he formed a new band, the King Casuals, which cut several singles for Peachtree. By the end of the 1970s, frustrated by the feast or famine nature of a bluesman's income and irregular pay schedules, Jones retired, aside from an occasional stint playing guitar for Bobby "Blue" Bland when his tour bus would be making its way through Tennessee. Around Nashville in the late '90s, Jones accompanied the likes of Earl Gaines, Roscoe Shelton, Charles Walker, and others at local clubs.
He finally released his debut album under his own name, I Was Raised on the Blues, in 1999. Two years later, he released Blues Is in the House for the Toronto-based Northern Blues Music label; the album was very well received by college and public radio DJs. He has long remained one of the stars of Nashville's often overlooked blues club scene. /Biography by Richard Skelly, AllMusic

Thanks RR. I'm not familiar with this guy, though from what I read here he's certainly been kicking around for a long time.
You're welcome Bob Mac, glad you enjoyed the post.
Hey Red Rooster! Please RE-UP this Johnny Jones album! Thanks in advance!

Thannk You so much for re-upping this. Much appreciated!
Would someone be kind enough to re-up this album in lossless? Thanks in advance.
@Thebird.. this one wasn't posted in lossless format to begin with, so unless the 320 kbs version is good enough I can't help you out personally. And the same goes for your other Johnny Jones requests, I have them but in mp3 format only. Just thought I'd let you know, and hopefully someone else can provide the lossless copies you asked for.
@ Red Rooster - I know, and that's fine, It was just a general shout out to see if anyone does have lossless that could/would share. You never know until you ask, and the people who visit here regularly are very generous (which is one of the things that makes this place so great!). I appreciate you taking the time to answer me just the same. Thank you.

And there's a perfect example of the generosity of the folks here. Thank you Bluestender!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, figured you were just looking for a lossless copy. Jaust wanted to clarify that I don't have any of your requests in lossless format. And no harm in asking, you'll never know when you get lucky. And it seems you did thanks to Bluestender. ;)
