Louis Marshall Jones
was only around 30 years old when he cut his first acetate for
Syd Nathan
's fledgling Dayton, Ohio-based
King Records
in 1943, he was already known as
Grandpa Jones
, earning the nickname because he supposedly sounded like an old man when he spoke on the radio (over his half-century career,
Jones

was featuring his own flailing banjo style more frequently, and he began to sound increasingly like the second coming of
Uncle Dave Macon
. This set shows how much the Hee Haw banjo character was exactly that, a character, albeit one
nurtured and milked for well over 50 years. ~ Steve Leggett
