Eight priceless 1966 tracks by tragically underrecorded guitarist
Floyd Jones are paired for this CD with eight more by sessionmate
Eddie Taylor. Produced in both cases by Testament boss
Pete Welding with
Big Walter Horton on harp, pianist
Otis Spann, and drummer
Fred Below lending their collective hands,
Jones re-creates his dour, uncompromising "Dark Road," "Hard Times," and "Stockyard Blues" with an early-'50s sense of purpose. ~ Bill Dahl
