Jones often gravitated toward songs that allowed for expressive storytelling, which is why "Stagger Lee," with its themes of confrontation and bravado, suited his style so well. His rendition doesn’t stray far from the essence of the traditional ballad, yet his vocal delivery gives the song a distinctive blend of soul and intensity.
