Reviewed 2005-12-13

One of the last of the 1950s Chicago harp kings. He recorded for Vee Jay back in The Day -- 40 years later, still the shit.

Harp-lead small blues quartet. Tuff, tight and serious.

1. The old classic, well done.
2. Uptempo 2-beat stomp
3. Bluesy Chicago cha-cha
4. Old time acoustic harp & piano
5. Big sound -- big beat
6. Laid back & low down
7. Low down drag -- tuff guitar
8. Billy's signature tune, blues rhumba
9. Serious low down strollin' midtempo drag
10. Ooohhh! The Shit....
11. HOnky tonk stroll
12. Hypnotic march
13. Low down &laid back - chromatic
14. Snappy stroll
