Mickey Jones profile

Born in Houston, rock drummer Mickey Jones got his first gig playing drums after meeting Trini Lopez in high school. He followed Lopez to Los Angeles, where they recorded the now classic 'Live At P.J.'s'.

Lured away by Johnny Rivers, they recorded seven albums together and toured the world. Shortly after, Bob Dylan befriended him and he joined The Band backing Dylan on tour throughout the mid-60s.

He then joined The First Edition, with Kenny Rogers, and played and sang with them for several albums before all but leaving the music behind in the late 70s to focus mainly on his burgeoning acting career.
