Jody Williams on tracks 11-16. This English Import came out in 1977 and contains 16 cuts from Hooker and Williams that were recorded in the late 50s and early 60s. Even though he had to share it with the more-famous Hooker, and he only got 6 tracks, it was Jody Williams's first album. In 1954 Williams was the band leader for Howlin' Wolf and a session man at Chess. Williams played on a number of Chess sessions with Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Bo Diddley and Billy Boy Arnold. After getting a couple of bad deals, Williams stopped recording, and some thought he might never record again. He was coaxed out of retirement in the 90s.
