Mordicai Jones is a 1971 album by rock & roll guitarist and Shawnee Indian Link Wray.[2] The album was credited to mysterious singer Mordicai Jones, who was Link's piano player Bobby Howard. It was recorded under the supervision of producer Steve Verocca at Wray's Shack Three Track studio in Accokeek, Maryland, during the Link Wray/Beans and Fatback sessions.[3]
History
It is credited to lead vocalist Mordicai Jones, an alias for Bobby Howard.[1] The music is an Americana blend of blues, country, soul, and folk rock. The same casual and laid-back sound was used during the Link Wray/Beans and Fatback sessions. Some tracks from the album later surfaced on the compilation Guitar Preacher: The Polydor Years, and the album was included in its entirety, together with the other "shack" recordings of 1971 (Link Wray and Beans and Fatback), on Wray's Three Track Shack.[1][4][5]
