Andrew Bennie Jones, Jr., was born in
Dallas, Texas, who backed
Katie Webster both in concert and on her
Swamp Boogie Queen (1988) album. The trio became
session musicians working with
Charlie Musselwhite, with whom Jones remained until 1996. Jones toured the world in this period, and played on three Musselwhite albums;
Ace of Harps (1990),
Signature (1991), and
In My Time (1993). In 1997, Jones issued his debut solo album,
I Need Time, via
JSP Records. This was followed the year after by
Watch What You Say (
Rounder Records), although that label association soon finished. However, following
Watch What You Say's release, Jones was nominated for a Blues Music Award for 'Best New Blues Artist'. A live album,
Jr. Boy Live was released in 2006 and ''Gettin' Real'', a more recent release appeared on the
independent record label, Electro-Fi Records in 2009. He recently opined his frustration of not being more widely recognised. "I’d have to say that I’ve been close to certain things all my life. Been right there [where the action was]. Maybe, there have been some bad decisions on my part. Maybe, I haven't sucked up enough or to the right people." ==Discography==
