Casey Jones played with the Coleman High School band in Greenville, Mississippi as a kid, but claimed he learned more about drumming from Little Milton’s drummer Lonnie Haynes, than from the band director.
In 1956 at age 17, his sister Atlean and her husband Otis Luke enticed him with the promise of a drum kit and entry into the musician’s union, if he would move to Chicago to live with them. True to his word, they went to Frank’s Drum Shop on Wabash Ave and from there on Casey Jones played drums in Otis’s band. His first gig with Otis Luke & the Rhythm Bombers in 1956 made him $5.
In the early 1960s he recorded with Earl Hooker, A.C. Reed, McKinley Mitchell, and Muddy Waters. As a session drummer he has worked with artists such as Lou Rawls and Otis Rush. He recorded with blues artist Albert Collins and Johnny Winter. For six years he was a member of Albert Collins's band as his drummer. Thereafter he began to concentrate on his own singing and fronting his own band.
Born Casey Jones on July 26, 1939 in Nitta Yuma, Mississippi and died on May 3, 2017 in Chicago, Illinois at the age of 77.

Eric Clapton’s Definitive 24 Nights to Feature Debut of “Concerto for Electric Guitar”
Eric Clapton’s “Concerto for Electric Guitar,” a 30-minute piece performed by the guitarist and the National Philharmonic Orchestra in the early 1990s, will make its recorded debut on the Definitive 24 Nights.
Conductor Michael Kamen composed the music specifically for the shows that spawned the forthcoming release.
The arrival of “Concerto” is announced toward the end of a short trailer for the LP and concert film that follows the orchestral version of “Layla.”
Talk about burying the lede.
Anyway, Definitive promises nearly six hours of music - and 36 previously unreleased tracks - as performed by Clapton accompanied on different nights by orchestra and rock and blues bands and with guests Phil Collins, Albert Collins, Buddy Guy and Robert Cray.
The Definitive 24 Nights is due June 23.
