Guitar Slim

Eddie Jones dit «Guitar Slim» est ne le 10 décembre 1926 à Greenwood dans le Mississippi. Malgré une carrière extrêmement brève, ce fut une figure importante du blues néo-orléanais. Son influence sur des guitaristes comme ALbert Collins ou Buddy Guy est indiscutable.

Il commence sa carrière musicale en chantant dans des chorales religieuse. C'est en 1950 qu'il s'installe à la Nouvelle-Orléans et forme un trio avec le pianiste Huey Smith et le batteur Willie Nettles. Il enregistre en 1951 un single pour Imperial « New arrival / Bad luck ison me » et un autre pour Bullet « Certainly all / Feelin' bad ».

Puis il signe avec Specialty, et c'est pour ce label qu'il enregistre son principal hit, « The things that I use to do », dont les arrangement sont dus à Ray Charles.

En 1956 Guitar Slim quitte Specialty pour signer chez Atlantic. Plusieurs de ses titres paraissent sur le sous label Atco, sans qu'on y retrouve la puissance de la période Specialty.

Guitar Slim meurt le 7 février 1959.
