In 1965 folklorist Bill Koon was out for a walk near Lexington, Georgia, when he happened across Eddie Lee Mustright Jones playing guitar on a porch. Intrigued, Koon walked up and introduced himself, quickly realizing that Jones' archaic song repertoire, which bounced between old black spirituals, early blues, and interpretations of fiddle dance tunes, was something special. He returned with a reel-to-reel recorder and taped several hours of Jones singing and playing, often with interjections and unsolicited vocals from Jones' family and friends. The results were released on Pete Welding's Testament label. Little else is known about Jones, but his music has a wonderful, ragged charm. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi
