Bob Jones is certainly a man of mystery his one and only
single “Butterfly” b/w “Lady Love Song” (WBA-4020) released in 1972 for Warner
Bros. Records. The single was produced
by G.Wayne Thomas and a couple of people even told me that they thought it
might have been him singing under the Bob Jones name. A few years ago I was in
contact with a lady named Brenda who I’m not sure if she’s G. Wayne Thomas’s
agent or P.A. but she knew him and we talked about some of his songs that he
was after which I had and she wanted to know if I would fix them up for him for
a project he was going to do, (which is another story). So I was hoping she
still had the same email and I wrote to her asking about Bob Jones to see
if she could put some light on who he was.
As luck would have it she did respond to my email and this
is what she said…….’Hi Garry I asked him about the Bob Jones single and he
recalls producing the single. Bob Jones sang and wrote both sides of the
single. After the record Bob met a Spanish girl and moved to Spain and was
never heard of again”. Thanks again to Rex for sending me this very rare record to put on the Blog.Flac

I love the acid guitar leads on both sides. Possibly Mick Liber on guitar, from the Crystal Voyager Band, G. Wayne Thomas's go to guys. Mick played with Python Lee Jackson amongst others. Underrated guitarist!!
I'm deeply moved by Rosie's story and your loving sentiments. In 2004 I lost my dear big brother in the same way. From one music enthusiast to another I salute you.
