Stan met Willie Dixon in 1988, while working for a limo service. Stan managed to get the job taking Willie to the Grammy Awards. Willie liked to ride in the front seat, and while driving down the highway they talked about the blues. Stan mentioned that he played the harmonica and Willie said "Ya gotcha harp with ya". Stan said yes and began to play driving with one hand and playing harp with the other.

Willie seemed impressed and said "You must be playing that harp a long time". Stan said "Why's that". Willie said "Because you got the tone. You can't get that tone unless you've been playing a long time. Here is my phone number, you're welcome to call me anytime". Stan and Willie became best friends which led up to the recording of this album. /Liner notes by Marie Dixon

cool CD.

Stan was in Canned Heat during the Dallas Hodge era. he played harp and flute and if i recall correctly, sang Going Up the Country and On the Road Again. Bought this from him at a Canned Heat gig in Duluth in 2004.
