Buster B. Jones - Guitar Portrait

"Buster B. Jones is one of the finest players we've heard in years... His technique is only a means to an end. His true gifts are his melodic sense, innate musicianship, unfailing human, and brilliant improvisational powers. He can drive a tune with fluid rhythmic force or stroke it with sensuous, loving touch." -- Guitar Player Magazine

In 1988, Brad Jones entered Guitar Player Magazine's International Guitar Competition with his own composition Back Porch Boogie and a rendition of Limehouse Blues. He entered on a whim, at the last minute, using a $1.50 K-Mart cassette tape and a boom box. There were almost 900 entries, and he won on the first ballot. In 1990, he won the National Fingerpicking Championship at Winfield, Kansas. In the last years he has performed with Chet Atkins, Tommy Jones, Marcel Dadi, Thom Bresh and John Knowles. He is a regular at the annual conventions in Nashville and France of the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society. In France they have dubbed him LE MACHINE GUN.

Tunes performed: Guitarville, Wild Turkey, Walk In The Park, Just Us, Back Porch Boogie, The Prelude, Funky Fingers, The Buster B. Boogie, Fingers In Flight, Au Revoir Mon Ami, Live At Five and Pierpaolo
