Big Joe Williams

Epitomized The Life And Times Of The Roving Bluesman, Playing Rugged, Rhythmic Blues On His Nine-String Guitar. Big Joe Came Under The Influence Of Charley Patton In The Mississippi Delta, Where He Sometimes Took Young Bluesmen Honeyboy Edwards And Muddy Waters On The Road With Him, All Three Becoming Staples On The St. Louis Scene During The 1930's, And Later Relocating To Chicago, Where Their Legends Were Cemented. The Great Sonny Boy Williamson Was Big Joe's Go-To Harmonica Player For The Next Decade. Mike Bloomfield's Memoir "Me And Big Joe" Captured His Legendary Travels And Cantankerous Personality, And His Popularity Never Waned Finding New Generations Of Blues Enthusiasts Into The 1980's, Being Inducted Into The Blues Hall Of Fame In 1992. Big Joe Williams Passed On Ten Years Prior.
