This essential LP includes one of their finest albums as a duo, originally released by the Folkways label: ’Songs of Memphis Slim & “Wee Willie” Dixon’ (1960) by the two blues titans. All of the compositions were written by Willie Dixon. On these recordings Dixon’s bass is heard up front, and his tone is clear as a bell. It’s a rare opportunity to hear Willie’s mastery without being buried under a pile of guitars and drums.
