Jonesen For Money (2002)

Deacon Jones

Bass

I chose to be involved in this recording because of the opportunity to play blues bass guitar. It wasn’t a style I normally played but had always wanted to do more of it. Melvyn “Deacon” Jones was a renowned blues organist and he played the Hammond, which I absolutely love the sound of. Deacon performed with many of the greats like John Lee Hooker, Curtis Mayfield, Gregg Allman, Eric Clapton, Lydia Pense, Robert Cray, Muddy Waters and Buddy Miles. To be able to play on Deacon’s album was quite a privilege.
