Tail Dragger

About the artist

Tail Dragger was American Chicago blues musician James Yancey Jones (born in Altheimer, Arkansas, on 30 September 1940; died 4 September 2023). He performed beginning in the 1960s and released four albums. A disciple of Howlin' Wolf, Jones was given his nickname by his hero because of his habit of regularly arriving late at Howlin' Wolf performances. Jones moved to Chicago in the '60's and quickly began to play with Howlin' Wolf and other West Side blues legends over more than a quarter century.
