Willie Dixon I Am The Blues (Vinyl, CBS Records, 1981 *****
Genre: Blues
Places I remember: Marbecks Records
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Spoonful
Gear costume: The Seventh Son
Active compensatory factors: This was a revelation when I stumbled upon it while working at Marbecks Records in the early eighties.

I knew the songs, of course, from Cream, Muddy Waters, The Stones, Howlin' Wolf, George Thorogood and so on, but I had no idea that Willie Dixon was such a great singer as well as a great writer.
This album is just one amazingly crafted song after another and all done with great backing from the Chicago Blues All-Stars. You can't beat authenticity.
Where do they all belong? A great addition to the blues collection.
