  • Description

    1998 album paying tribute to Willie Dixon, one of the blues' greatest songwriters and a legendary performer. Featuring leading blues artists such as Tab Benoit, Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson, Ronnie Earl, Eddie Kirkland, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Deborah Coleman and John Mooney.

    'The Songs of Willie Dixon' is a unique profile of the man from Vicksburg, Mississippi, as well as a chance to hear many of his best songs in new incarnations. Dixon influenced everyone from Eric Clapton and The Rolling Stones to The Doors and Led Zeppelin. 'The Songs of Willie Dixon' is full of his classic tunes, many of which have found their way into the vocabulary of pop music: "Spoonful," "I Ain't Superstitious," "When the Lights Go Out," "I Just Want to Make Love to You," and ten others.
