Memphis Slim & Willie Dixon

Do de Do
Aux Trois Mailletz 1963 via Universal
a note about this track

Memphis Slim And Willie Dixon Are Credited With Having Helped Create The Chicago Blues Sound. Both Were Working The Coffeehouse Circuit In The Early Days When They Cut Their First Album Together. Only A Few More Albums Would Follow. Separately, The Two Would Be The Proving Ground For The Young Bluesman On The Chicago Scene During the 1950's. John Lee Chatman And William James Dixon's Indelible Mark On The Blues Is Undisputed. Slim Passed On In 1988; Dixon, Four Years Later
