Keziah Jones

A Nigerian-born rocker heavily influenced by Jimi Hendrix and Fela Kuti, Keziah Jones found himself with his first album, Blufunk Is a Fact!, in 1992.

Several more albums ensued over the next 15 years (African Space Craft, Liquid Sunshine, and Black Orpheus among them), fixing Jones as one of the more prominent blues-rock musicians on the European music scene in the late '90s and early 2000s. He bolstered this reputation with the release of the album Black Orpheus in 2003 and a first best-of collection, Rhythm Is Love, in 2004. His biggest album to date, Nigerian Wood, was released in 2008. The album spent an incredible 43 weeks on the French SNEP chart and established Jones as a leading figure of the European blues genre. Jones' sixth studio album, Captain Rugged, followed in 2013. He returned with the Rugged Covers EP in 2017. ~ TiVo Staff, Rovi
