In the 1960s, when Nashville was a hotbed of soul and blues, Johnny Jones ruled the scene. As the show-stopping leader of the great Imperial Seven, Johnny cut heads all over town—including that of an impressionable young soldier from Fort Campbell named Jimi Hendrix who studied Johnny's style and showmanship every weekend while on leave from the base. Johnny's razor-sharp playing was honed over a lifetime dedicated to the blues, from backing Freddie King with Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown on the teen dance show The!!!Beat, to stints with Bobby Bland and Junior Wells. Many people wonder what transformed Hendrix from a solid soul guitarist on the Southern chitlin circuit to an incendiary psychedelic guitar icon. The answer could well be Johnny Jones. Listen for yourself as Johnny plays, and recounts his adventures in Nashville—and with Jimi himself.
