Artist Info: The Jones

There is more than one band with the name "The Jones."

1) The Jones were a vocal-instrumental rock quartet from Rio de Janeiro who began their career in the early 1960s. They combined several 60s musical styles: surf rock with a dry, twangy guitar sound; easy-listening arrangements, popular internationally at the time; and rock & roll/beat heavily influenced by UK bands like The Beatles and The Hollies.
