Big Joe Williams is one of the great, legendary blues figures of the
20th century. Joe has been recording steadily since the 1930's and
enjoyed a great deal of success in the 1940's on the rhythm and blues
charts. Like many great bluesmen, Joe is a native of Mississippi but
later moved to Chicago, the second home for many of America's greatest
blues artists after the second world war. Joe has been a major influence
throughout his long career on most of today's blues artists and is
especially known for his unique development and playing of the 9 string
guitar style, something no other artist has successfully attempted.
This fantastic LP was recorded by famed blues producer Norman Dayron in
Chicago and presents Big Joe in an intimate setting, performing many of
the traditional and original blues for which he is most widely known.
