George "Little Hat" Jones

The Blues Spotlight: During The 1920's, Little Hat Jones Spent Time On The Streets Of San Antonio Busking For A Living, Played The Fish Fries and Juke Joint Circuits With Texas Alexander And J.T. Smith. A Fine Singer With A Strong Guitar Technique, But He Had A Habit Of Starting His Songs Very Quickly,Slowing Down Drastically When He Started To Sing, And Then Arriving At Some Kind Of Compromise As The Song Went On. He Turned This Fault Into A Virtue Insofar As It Made Some Of His Recordings Quite Distinctive. The Record Companies Weren't To Impressed,Only Giving Jones A Ten Song Deal, Making Up His Entire Recorded Catalog. George "Little Hat" Jones Passed On In 1981, And Remains A Small Footnote In The Story Of The Blues
