Checking in with Canadian bluesman JW-Jones. jwjonesblues
It used to be in the music biz that in order to make a connection, there was a lot of hanging out backstage at shows, showing up at recording sessions, or schmoozing at parties and participating in activities of various legalities.Today, you can find that potential bond via social media.
Very surprising to Jones though, was that Vaughan had been aware of him for several years through…social media. In this case the younger player’s videos.. I was a fan of theirs even before I started on guitar and was playing drums. I’d play Stevie Ray’son VHS and stretch a cable from the TV to the VCR on the other side of the room. And then I found the Fabulous Thunderbirds and Jimmie, whose guitar playing I was drawn to even more,” Jones says.
But two numbers are downright jarring: “Papa’s in the Pen” and “When You Left” are about two parents who are variously imprisoned, addicted to drugs and alcohol, or dead. About as far from a model mother and father as you can get. And both songs are autobiographical. In the latter, Jones sings that he wasn’t surprised when he got the call that his mother had passed away.
“What’s weird about it is that this is a man who taught me how to ride and bike and showed a lot of love. I didn’t know him as a bad person, but he was doing terrible things behind the scenes, a career criminal. I don’t know if he’s even out. I have no idea.” “That was important when I was younger, and I feel like I achieved that when I worked with them. Now in my forties, I’m making music for myself. Not a select group of people who probably don’t even pay for their music anyway. How many of the Blues Mafia are actually out there buying records?”
