Three Harp Boogie
Rough Guide to Chicago Blues 2003 via World Music Network
a note about this track

Blues Spotlight: Chicago Harp Player Billy Boy Arnold Learned From Best. As A Kid His Neighbor Was Sonny Boy Williamson. The Elder Statesman Gave The Thirteen-Year-Old A Few Lessons, But The Tutoring Was Cut Short When The Maestro Was Murdered Soon Afterwards. Arnold's Recording Debut Came Out In 1952, And Soon After Scored A Gig Blowing Harp For Bo Diddley, Revealing A Fine Blues Voice, And Cuttin' Heads With Muddy, Howlin' Wolf And Earl Hooker On The Chicago Club Scene. His Performaning Reputation Preceded Him, Touring Europe Was Common During The 1970's - Back Home In Chicago Not So Much, Odd Jobs Was The Flavor During The Following Decade. The Great Comeback Came Knocking In 1993 Signing With Alligator Records, Retiring In 2015 - William "Billy Boy" Arnold Celebrated Number 87 This Past Week
