Willie Dixon (voc, b); Memphis Slim (p); Wally Richardson (g); Al Ashby (ts); Gus Johnson (dr)
Since the early 1950s, Willie Dixon has been the
studio kingpin of Chicago blues, having written,
produced, and played bass on countless classics by
Muddy Waters, Howlin? Wolf, Otis Rush, Koko
Taylor, and many others. Dixon has always managed
to find time away from the studio to work as a
performer, slapping his upright bass and singing
his own tunes in a highly compelling,
conversational baritone. He was working the
coffeehouse circuit with pianist Memphis Slim when
he cut this, his first album as a leader, in
1959. Besides his unique interpretations of
'Nervous? and 'Built For Comfort?, it includes
eight lesser known compositions from Dixon?s
prolific pen. It is unlike all other albums by
Dixon, as he and Slim are accompanied, not by the
usual crew of Chicago blues players, but by a
group of New York mainstream jazzmen, including
tenor saxophonist Hal Ashby, guitarist Wally
Richardson and drummer Gus Johnson.
