Comin’ Back Hard

Posted by Doc under Reviews

What if you could find a singer that can sound like B.B. King, Howlin’ Wolf and Bobby “Blue” Bland? Delta Groove Music has found one and it looks like they are going to keep him around for awhile.  Bobby Jones has been singing the blues since he hit the Chicago Blues scene in 1959.  Fresh out of the Army Bobby hit the Windy City in search of fame, fortune and fun like so many other Louisiana farm boys who were attracted to the new electric sound.  Bobby Jones found success right away as he replaced Junior Wells in the legendary band The Aces, featuring the founders/guitarists Dave and Louis Myers.  Well the story starts out good but like so many Chicago Blues Musician fame doesn’t come to all. Bobby Jones

Fortunately for us and for Bobby he was rediscovered in February 2007 and began recording as part of The Mannish Boys.  While recording his 2nd CD with The Mannish Boys, Jones laid down a solid 11 tracks of his own featuring the same musicians that were working on one of 2008′s best releases, The Mannish Boys “Lowdown Feelin.”  The new solo release by singer Bobby Jones is entitled “Comin’ Back Hard”(Delta Groove Music).  Just like the Mannish Boys release of 2008, every track is rock solid.  I could pretty much name them all but my favorite tracks are: Two Headed Woman (Willie Dixon, LP Weaver), Come In Out of The Rain (Tom Leavey), Three Handed Woman (Ben Raleigh, Hilda Taylor) and How Long Will It Last (Ike Turner).

Unfortunately the West Coast based Bobby Jones & The Mannish Boys haven’t hit the East Coast lately.  I keep hoping we see a nice summer tour from Bobby Jones and The Mannish Boys.  I hope someone is listening!!!  In the meantime we have these great releases to listen to.  Greg “Doc” Lefebre  Doc’s Juke Joint
