Mississippi bluesman John Paul Jones was born July 1, 1946 in Flora, Mississippi. His style of playing can be described as a genuine, raw Delta juke joint style. His raw and edgy guitar playing, his rough and gritty voice, his jagged singing, the use of the wah-wah pedal and the distorted guitar sound are clearly away from the blues mainstream and very often not much appreciated by traditional blues lovers. On October 9, 2005, at the age of only 59 years, Jones died of cancer in a hospital in Jackson, MS.
