Billy Jones was a founding guitarist for popular Southern rock band, the Outlaws.  You can hear Jones’ outstanding guitar work on such classic ’70s records as “There Goes Another Love Song” and “Green Grass & High Tides.”  The Outlaws’ guitar driven country rock made them just as vital to the growth of  Southern rock as Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers Band were.    Jones left the Outlaws in 1981 and reportedly kept a very low profile until word surfaced that he killed himself with a gun shot to the head on February 7, 1995.  He was 45 when he died.
