If you distill the steel guitar to it's primal elements you have Eddie One-string Jones who played a homemade, one-string lap steel with a whisky bottle for a slide. Raw and elemental stuff with more in common with african instruments than a Clinesmith double or Ric Bakelite but cool in it's own zone nonetheless.

I guess he's not going to be fitting a pedal to it in the near future.  |

I have the LP the site mentions (I have a reissue, not the original.) It's amazing music. Quintessential Mississippi Delta blues lines. Jones was a real artist, who did more with one string than most people do with 6. Had the circumstances, been different, he could have been another Muddy Waters or B.B. King.
