Chanteur et musicien Country US né
le 25 Décemvre 1902 à Asheville (Caroline du Nord). Buddy Jones
fut une figure importante du Western Swing et un des créateurs du Honky Tonk.
Entre 1934 et 1941, Jones a enregistré dans une formule orchestrale resserrée
qui préfigure très nettement le futur Honky Tonk Texan une série de pièces
pleines d'entrain, de fureur et parsemées d'extraordinaires solos.
Buddy, lassé de la vie de musicien, profite du succès politique de son ami
Jimmie Davis pour entrer dans la
police de Shreveport (Louisiane). Il ouvrira ensuite une restaurant renommé pour
ses poissons-chats, prenant sa guitare et chantant à l'occasion pour des clients
parmi lesquels figure un Elvis Presley
qui avouait son admiration pour ses disques des 40's. Buddy Jones est décédé le
20 Octobre 1956.
US Country
singer and musician born in 1906 in
Asheville (North Carolina). In 1935 he made
his first recordings for Decca Records. He recorded some 80 tracks over the next
six years, including country blues as well as risqué honky tonk numbers such as
"I'm Going to Get Me A Honky Tonky Baby" and "She's Sellin' What She Used to
Give Away". Some of his recordings were duos with
Jimmie Davis, and he also recorded
with his brother Buster Jones on steel guitar. He also made recordings with a
band including pianist
Moon Mullican,
fiddler Cliff Bruner
and Bob Dunn (steel guitar).
His 1939 recording "Rockin' Rollin' Mama" is notable for the lines "Waves on
the ocean, waves in the sea/ But that gal of mine rolls just right for me/
Rockin' rollin' mama, I love the way you rock and roll". This dates from
some 15 years before this phrase came into common parlance, and is particularly
remarkable in that it was sung by a Caucasian singer.
In the early 1940s Jones married, ended his recording career, and became a
police officer in Shreveport, Louisiana.
