Pick Of The Week
Willie Dixon is the man who changed the style of the blues. Called
“the poet laureate of the blues” and “the father of modern Chicago Blues”, the songwriter and producer was indisputably the pre-eminent blues songwriter of his era, credited with writing more than 500 songs by the end of his life including such standards as “Hoochie Coochi Man”, “My Babe”, “Back Door Man”,
“Wang Dang Doodle”, “I Just Want To Make Love To You” and “The Seventh Son”. Dixon is a towering figure in the history and creation of Chicago Blues on other fronts. While on staff at Chess Records, Dixon produced, arranged, and played bass on sessions for Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf,
Litter Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson II and others. In no small way, he served as a crucial link between the blues and rock ‘n roll. In celebration of Dixon’s 115th birthday on Saturday July 1st I would like to highly recommend the outstanding 2017 documentary Willie Dixon: I Am The Blues which captures the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame member in the twilight of his career, during a 1984 concert with the Chicago Blues All-Stars in support. Among the highlights of the gig are a spunky rendition of Built For Comfort and the stirring, little-known composition Peace; its simplistic lyrics and heartfelt sentiments make it a bluesy first cousin to John Lennon’s Give Peace A Chance. Interspersed with the great music are warm recollections from Dixon as he covers topics ranging from composing to his mid 1960s re-emergence in England via cover versions of his best material courtesy of The Rolling Stones and Cream which features long time admirer Eric Clapton
