After 40 years as a sideman, Arthur Williams (1937) is now looked up to as one of the last of the great juke-joint harp blowers. Born in Mississippi and raised in Chicago & St. Louis, Arthur's music represents the last generation of that true down-home blues of the Delta. The sounds of Sonny Boy II and Little Walter can be heard in Arthur's playing along with a heavy dose of rugged individualism.
Harkening back to the 'Golden Age of Chicago Blues', filtered through the Delta and refined in St. Louis, harmonica ace and blues singer Arthur Williams and his searing St. Louis band, featuring Boo-Boo Davis on drums and vocals, pump out blues and boogie like there's no tomorrow! Along with being coached by Little Walter as a teenager in Chicago and playing and recording with Frank Frost in the 1960's, Arthur Williams demonstrates that his talent is a major one that will thrill harp connoisseurs and lovers of 1950's-style Chicago Blues to no end.
