Musician

The Resume

    (July 8, 1944- )
    Born in Ocean Springs, Mississippi
    Birth name was Johnny Lee Johnson
    Changed name to Jai Johanny Johanson, then to Jaimoe
    Drummer for the Allman Brothers Band (1969-75,1979-80,1989-2014) and Sea Level (1976-79)
    Recorded the album ‘Renaissance Man’ (2012)

Why he might be annoying:

    He recorded under different names, eventually settling on a pretentious single name.
    He missed a chance to tour Europe with Otis Redding when he lost his wallet and could not produce any identification at the airport (1966).
    He said about a jam between the Allman Brothers Band and Derek and the Dominos, ‘I wasn’t all that knocked out by what Clapton was doing or the whole scene, so I went to the Winnebago, smoked some weed, and listened to [jazz drummer] Tony Williams’ ‘Emergency.’’

Why he might not be annoying:

    His father was killed when he was seven and he noted, ‘I remember telling my mother, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you.’ And I did that until the day she died.’
    He suffered a back injury in a car crash (1974).
    Matt Abt of Gov’t Mule said, ‘Jaimoe is like an encyclopedia of drumming. He just has such a history of the drums and you can hear it in his playing.’
