Mordicai Jones - Folk Blues Rock (USA)


Mordicai Jones is the 1971 album by pioneer Rock & Roll guitarist, and Shawnee Indian Link Wray. The album was credited to mysterious singer Mordicai Jones, who was Link's piano/mandolin player Bobby Howard. It was recorded under supervision of producer Steve Verocca at Wray's Shack Three Track studio in Accokeek, Maryland during the Link Wray/Beans and Fatback sessions by Link's brother Vernon "Ray Vernon" Wray and Chuck Irwin.
This Link's album was credited to lead vocalist Mordicai Jones, alias for Bobby Howard.[1] That music is an Americana blend of blues, country, soul, and folk rock. The same casual and laid-back sound was used on the Link Wray/Beans and Fatback sessions. Some tracks from the album later surfaced on the compilation Guitar Preacher: The Polydor Years, and it was included in its entirety together with other "shack" recordings of '71 (Link Wray and Beans and Fatback) on Wray's Three Track Shack 2CDs compilation.
