Description
Born and raised in West Virginia, Johnny Jones started playing the guitar, singing and writing songs around the age of 14. While in the U.S. Air Force his off duty hours were spent playing clubs and entertaining at many different functions. Eventually, Johnny was selected as one of several Air Force men and women for the "Command Performance" a variety show that toured throughout the United States, entertaining the troops at different air force and army bases.
After his tour of duty, Johnny returned to his home state of West Virginia, where he was soon in demand for performing clubs and a variety of social events as a single act, as well as doing some recording. During this time he was a regular on a Saturday morning radio show as well as making frequent tv appearances on "The Country Jamboree" in Bluefield, WV as well as a guest appearance on "The Lou & Buster Show" out of Knoxville, TN.
Johnny has performed on the same stage with acts like Dave Dudley, the late Mel Street, the Glaser Brothers and Tom T. Hall to name a few.
Johnny eventually moved to Nashville where he formed his own band and toured throughout several states and western Canada. After a couple of years he returned to West Virginia performing with different bands as well as working as a single act. He just recently started his own record label, Singing Crow Records, to promote his own material.
This CD was recorded in Fulton, MS this past Labor Day weekend. He hired one of his drummers from his traveling days, Marty Williams. Marty has a friend, Danny McKeown, who played bass, lead guitar and steel. Both of these musicians are from from MS. With Johnny on guitar and his his son Casey playing the tambourine on a couple of songs, this recording session was finished in just 2 days. Of course there was mixing and editing to do later on.
All these songs were writen by Johnny. He likes to write light hearted songs to make people laugh. Most of the songs on "Mowing Grass While Dressed Up In A Suit" are songs that will put a smile on your face. There is however 1 gospel song and a few serious songs on this CD. The song "Ode To A Country Music Fan" has a bluegrass feel.
"Yes Santa There Is A Virginia" got radio play in parts of KY, WV, TN, VA, NC & MS. this past Christmas season.
The song "The Japanese Kidnapped My Son" was aired on the Dr Demento Show Jan. 8-9, 2005. This show is on more than 100 stations coast to coast in the USA plus XM Satellite Radio.
