Mykesbass Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) What an incredible writer, bass player, producer, and one hell of a back story - here's a short appreciation with a nice couple of links: [url="http://modlock.co.uk/?p=117"]http://modlock.co.uk/?p=117 [/url] Edited April 10, 2015 by Mykesbass Quote
pfretrock Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Thanks for that, a lot I did not know. First encountered Willie Dixon on Johnny Winter's first CBS album in '69/70. A great musician and composer. Quote

Shambo Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Willie was an inspiration for me to first pick up the bass guitar. A great songwriter and great bassist. Good work. Quote
Buzzy Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Great piece on a great man. I used to have a copy of his autobiography " I am the blues" but lost it in a house move a few years ago. Quote

casapete Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Excellent stuff. Willie's playing with Chuck Berry probably is the reason I started getting into bass and music in general. Legend. Quote
