The history of funk and soul is heavily populated with artists that
labored for years to little more than local fame, and then broke
through briefly for a taste of national acclaim.

Johnny Jones & The King Casuals was just such a band.  It doesn’t hurt
that for a brief time in the mid-60’s they counted Jimi Hendrix among
their members....

Johnny Jones and the King Casuals were a premier Nashville, Tennessee,
rhythm and blues group active in the 1960s. They were regular
performers at the North Nashville club district, Printer's Alley
clubs, as well as often serving as the house band for a legendary
local TV show of the period. The beloved "Night Train" aired weekly at
the Friday midnight time slot.

The band, which was originally named "The King Kasuals", was founded
in 1962 by Jimi Hendrix and bassist Billy Cox in Clarksville,
Tennessee, after the two were discharged from the adjacent Fort
Campbell Army post, and eventually relocated to Nashville.

Johnny Jones, born in Nashville in 1936, moved to Chicago where he
honed chops with Jr. Wells and others. He moved back to Nashville in
the early '60's to become a session player, and eventually assumed
leadership of the King Casuals, ca. 1964, replacing Hendrix....
