Andrew "Jr. Boy" Jones is an American Texas blues guitarist, singer and songwriter, whose recorded work has been released on five albums. Jones' 1997 album, I Need Time, "showcases his crafty songwriting, great guitar playing, and powerful singing." The son of a big band singer, Jones acquired his moniker from his grandmother. Jones learned to play the guitar at a young age, and he joined Freddie King's backing band, the Thunderbirds, at the age of 17 and toured with them for a couple of years. In 1967, Jones became part of Bobby Patterson's backing band, the Mustangs, playing on a number of Patterson's single releases. By the early 70s, Jones worked in Dallas backing many musicians, plus was tutored further by Cornell Dupree. In 1973, Jones re-joined King's backing ensemble, and played with him until King died in 1976. The latter part of the decade saw Jones create a soul group known as the Creators, who signed a recording contract with RCA. Penned by Jones, their 1979 single, "Blame It on Me", was more successful on the Northern soul circuit in the UK than in his home country. He worked locally in the early 80s, primarily backing R.L. Griffin and Hal Harris, before finding regular work with Johnnie Taylor until 1985. In late 1987, he went to California joining Silent Partners, who backed Katie Webster in concert and on her Swamp Boogie Queen album. The group became session musicians working with Charlie Musselwhite, with whom Jones remained until 1996. Jones played on three Musselwhite albums; Ace of Harps, Signature, and In My Time. In 1997, Jones issued his debut solo album, I Need Time, via JSP Records. This was followed by Watch What You Say (Rounder Records). However, following Watch What You Say's release, Jones was nominated for a Blues Music Award for 'Best New Blues Artist'. A live album, Jr. Boy Live was released in 2006 and Gettin' Real, his most recent release appeared on the independent record label, Electro-Fi Records in 2009.
