The godfather of the blues! His songs are blues and rock history! The most famous musicians of the 20th century covered his songs. The list of bands that have covered his songs is long and significant. Dixon deserves greater credit for his influence on music over the last century.

That voice is where so many classics came from. He feels what he writes. Love it when he steps to the mic and songs it all himself.

Some people have it, some people don't. Good man!

[trinacogitating]

Just amazing. That's some sophisticated blues music.

In very loving memory of the ONE & ONLY Mr. Willie Dixon (1915-1992 R.I.P. // gone but NOT forgotten).

First time hearing this, what a discovery. Willie is brilliantly accompanied by Matt Murphy and Memphis Slim. What a powerful vocal and technically skilled performance.

[riffdigger]

His vocal is powerful. Nice how the mic picks up the bass, a few feet away. Great on headphones. 1963, wow- great upload. 🙏

AMAZING! I thought Murphy was young when he was on the Blues Bros. movie, so it's a surprise to see him here.

Such clean sound from that one mic, not a clue what audio trickery is going on here

[Bcarn]

That’s gotta be one of the largest arch top guitars I’ve ever seen. The intro guitar that is.

No monitors, everything threw the one channel, Doubling up double bass along side vocals with one mic.
I don't know how the hell sound Engineer's did their magic back then
