Curtis Jones was a popular blues singer/pianist, with an understated and enjoyable style that goes down real easy. A bit samey, but if you’re down with that late ‘30s Chicago piano blues sound, you’ll probably enjoy the ride. Jones also gets points for singing about hunching decades earlier than Hasil Adkins. Probable accompanists include Washboard Sam, Big Bill Broonzy, Willie Bee (James) and Kansas Joe McCoy, with occasional jazzy touches courtesy of Punch Miller. Limited stock.
