Paul "Wine" Jones

b July 1, 1946 Flora, MS d October 9, 2005 Jackson, MS

A farmer and a welder, but foremost a rough and ready Bluesman from the
old school. Paul was well known in all the Mississippi Juke Joints and it was always
a wild party when Paul was playing. His raspy vocals and upbeat style made
him a favorite. His debut recording was with Fat Possum in 1995. Also playing
with Paul on that CD are Kenny Brown, Sam Carr, and Big Jack Johnson.
The CD "Mule" is a fair representation of Paul's style and he did his music
his way. He only wanted to sound like Paul "Wine" Jones. If you missed
Paul live in a joint with Paul leading the party, you missed a
great time. Paul will be missed by all.
