Label GB

digitally remastered and presented as a digipak with liner notes by neil slaven. originally released in 1970, willie dixon is one of the few that could name an album 'i am the blues' and not have it be a brash overstatement. where would the blues be without the songs on this collection, every one of which he wrote himself. the proof is the number of artists that have covered his songs over the years: the doors, led zeppelin, cream, muddy waters, howlin' wolf, chuck berry, bo diddley, magic sam, sonny boy williamson, and sam cooke, just to name a few. willie dixon was an integral part of the chess records label and the chicago blues scene, but also could deliver as a performer. includes the classics 'back door man', 'i can't quit you, baby', 'you shook me' and 'spoonful'.
