Kurz-Bio:
Der Bluessänger, Bassist, Songwriter und Produzent Willie Dixon wurde am 1. Juli 1915 in Vicksburg, Mississippi, als William James Dixon geboren und verstarb am 29. Jänner 1992 in Burbanks, Kalifornien. Obwohl sein musikalischer Einstieg 1946 mit Big Three Trio anfangs vom Blues relativ weit entfernt war, war er dann jener Musiker, der in den Fünfziger- und Sechzigerjahren die Entwicklung des Chicago-Blues entscheidend geprägt hat.
