William James "Willie" Dixon (July 1, 1915 – January 29, 1992) was a well-known American blues bassist, singer, songwriter, arranger and record producer.

Willie Dixon has got to be one of the most complete bluesmen of all time, he wrote, was a side man for, and produced some of the best blues out there.

The above album is one of my favorite by him because it is him preforming his own songs. And for lack of a better word all I can say is that it is wonderful.
