He makes ’em, he plays ’em, and with his Tulsa-based trio, the luthier and slide-guitar whiz is looking to extend the catalog of blues standards. Seth Lee Jones knows the world doesn’t need another take on Born Under a Bad Sign. Ditto with The Thrill Is Gone, Crossroads or Little Red Rooster. Great songs, all: a tune doesn’t become known as a standard for nothing.
The problem with blues standards, though, is they get covered and re-interpreted over and over, to the point there’s no fresh take to be offered. Odds are, the Rolling Stones would’ve beat you to it by half a century. That’s why the Tulsa-bred singer and guitarist dipped deep into the well for Flathead, the debut studio album by his eponymous trio.
“I feel like somebody should put together a list of the top 10 blues songs you should never play,” Jones says with a laugh. “We kind of just picked our favorites. I run a democratic ship in my band. We just picked the ones we like the best amongst the three of us.”
The nine tracks that made it onto the album aren’t all totally obscure – familiar names like Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter and Howlin’ Wolf are represented. It’s the kind of setlist that would be put together by a band that’s put in the hours, learning how to give blues aficionados what they want through years of gigging. Which is exactly what the trio is: they’ve spent years as a house band at Tulsa’s popular venue The Colony.
