In 1965 folklorist Bill Koon was out for a walk near
Lexington, GA, when he happened across Eddie Lee "Mustright" Jones
playing guitar on a porch. Intrigued, Koon walked up and introduced himself,
quickly realizing that Jones' archaic song repertoire, which bounced between
old black spirituals, early blues, and interpretations of fiddle dance
tunes, was something special. He returned with a reel-to-reel recorder and
taped several hours of Jones singing and playing, often with interjections
and unsolicited vocals from Jones' family and friends. The results were
released on Pete Welding's Testament label. Little else is known about
Jones, but his music has a wonderful, ragged charm. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi
