Mordicai Jones is the 1971 album by pioneer Rock & Roll guitarist, and Shawnee Indian Link Wray. The album was credited to mysterious singer Mordicai Jones, who was Link’s piano/mandolin player Bobby Howard. It was recorded under supervision of producer Steve Verocca at Wray’s Shack Three Track studio in Accokeek, Maryland during the Link Wray/Beans and Fatback sessions by Link’s brother Vernon “Ray Vernon” Wray and Chuck Irwin.
This Link’s album was credited to lead vocalist Mordicai Jones, alias for Bobby Howard. That music is an Americana blend of blues, country, soul, and folk rock. The same casual and laid-back sound was used on the Link Wray/Beans and Fatback sessions. Some tracks from the album later surfaced on the compilation Guitar Preacher: The Polydor Years, and it was included in its entirety together with other “shack” recordings of ‘71
