Down Home Blues With Lloyd Jones

June 1, 2012 By Mike Leave a Comment

Lloyd Jones is a blues guitarist and singer from Portland, Oregon, but sounds like he’s straight out of the Delta. One of the best examples of Jones’ down home blues sound comes from a video I found recently of Jones playing a song called, “Southbound Train.” Jones sits down with an acoustic guitar and sings the blues for a small audience at the Bing Lounge in Portland. I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did!

There’s plenty more to see and hear from Lloyd Jones. Hopefully you can catch him at a show near you soon. Subscribe now to Mike’s Guitar Talk for special guitar performances just like this one from Lloyd Jones and a lot more guitar information.

Thanks and stay tuned for more!
