No one who I can think of has taken a truly contemporary look at traditional blues with the musical and lyrical intensity of Billy Jones. A refreshing blast of the really great sound of Healing Blues, Jazz, Funk Music. Loaded with Rich Blues Tradition. B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Even Johnny Winter Flavors. I'd recommend '<b>Funky Blues & Southern Soul - volume 1</b>' to any avid blues listener and I look forward to hearing more from the reclusive Billy Jones.
