Willie Williams - Raw Unpolluted Soul (LP 1973 Supreme Blues - CD 1991 P-Vine Japan) Rare Blues (FLAC 221MB)

Willie was Born in Arkansas & passed 1988 in Chicago. He was a drummer and guitarist. Known as a sideman to the great Howlin' Wolf and others. Nicknamed "Rough Dried" or "Fast Feet" Willie started off playing guitar at fish fries and juke joints in the 1930s, before launching a career as a professional dancer. Known as "Fast Feet," Williams tap-danced throughout the South over a 13-year period. After a stint in the Civilian Conservation Corps, he migrated to Chicago in 1943 and took up the drums. Before settling permanently in Chicago, however, Williams moved down to St. Louis, where he formed his first band in the mid- 1950s for a few years. Back in Chicago, he hooked up with Howlin' Wolf and backed up Wolf on tour through the early 1970s. Williams is probably best known for his downhome jukebox favorite "Wine-Headed Woman", a nationwide hit and one of the most popular Chicago blues records of the 1970s. "Wine-Headed Woman" appears on this album featuring the backing talents of Hubert Sumlin, Pinctop Perkins, Eddie Taylor, and Carey Bell. Williams also recorded a session for Ralph Bass in 1977, from which several cuts have been released in England on the Red Lightnin' label. Known for his gruff vocals and hard driving backbeat, Williams was a regular in West Side Chicago taverns, where he was often accompanied by Carey Bell. Probably the co-writer of the song "Rough Dried Woman" recorded by Big Mac. This was his only studio album with only a handful of 45,s. Not to be confused with either the 1950s rock 'n roll guitarist Willie Williams. I have both the Vinyl & CD but theres an xtra track on the CD.
