Hamp Jones was one of the many variations applied to the name of Harmon “Hump” Jones, who at some point in 1957, wrote and recorded three songs: Lookin’ for my Baby, You’re Not My Girl and Pack Your Clothes. Musically, all three sit at the point where rhythm and blues intersects with swing, but Jones was clearly influenced by rock ‘n’roll too. Listen to the melody of the verses on Pack Your Clothes and it’s apparent that once Jones’s dumped lover has packed their belongings, he fully intends on having them unpack them again at Heartbreak Hotel…
