A leading figure of the largely overlooked Nashville blues scene, Johnny Jones was an outstanding guitarist who helped to launch the musical career of Jimi Hendrix. And it was with a Hendrix tune, Purple Haze, that Jones first attracted attention in the UK. He was born in 1936 in the small Tennessee town of Edes to a musical family.
