dbo:abstract
  • Floyd Jones (July 21, 1917 – December 19, 1989) was an American blues singer, guitarist and songwriter, who is significant as one of the first of the new generation of electric blues artists to record in Chicago after World War II. A number of Jones' recordings are regarded as classics of the Chicago blues idiom, and his song %22On The Road Again%22 was a top ten hit for Canned Heat in 1968. Notably for a blues artist of his era, several of his songs have economic or social themes, such as %22Stockyard Blues%22 (which refers to a strike at the Union Stock Yards), %22Hard Times%22 or %22Schooldays%22.
