I like this album but i prefer the chess box because his songs are much better when a great singer is doing it. So i suggest you buy the WillieDixon Chess Box with Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf and little walter on vocals. The only great singer missing int this box is Otis Rush (you sang i can’t quit you babe ). Led Zeppelin and Rolling stones did so many Dixon song that you can’t go wrong (songs like i can’t quit you babe, you shook me, bring it on home, the stone did i just want to make love to you, and little red rooster).
So don’t wait and run to buy the Willie Dixon Chess Box !

Ignore the "official" review and then find this album on VINYL.
I purchased this LP back in 1974 on vinyl and still listen to it every so often. The sound quality on a good system is just superb.
That the official review complains about the sound quality simply tells me that the CD was poorly mastered which is such a shame because this album is a joy to listen to.
Go hunting online and find the vinyl version - it's well worth the hunt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Very Influential Bluesman - Led Zeppelin's First Album Has Several Willie Dixon Covers

A lot of younger guys are rediscovering 1970s music. One local CD store owner told me that his store sells more CDs of bands like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd than it sells of individual contemporary bands.
With the resurgence of interest in bands like Led Zeppelin, perhaps people might be interested in Led Zeppelin's influences. One of those influences was Willie Dixon. If you look at the songwriting credits on Led Zeppelin's first album, you'll notice that several songs are credited to W. Dixon. This is the W. Dixon the credits are referring to.
Willie Dixon later sued Led Zeppelin, successfully, for taking another of his riffs without giving him credit or royalties.
Led Zeppelin's interest in Willie Dixon was no accident. He's one of the giants of American blues.
This album is a really good introduction to Dixon's music. It was recorded later in his career, when recording technology had advanced dramatically from the days Dixon first started recording. So the sound is a lot better than many of Dixon's earlier recordings.
If you're interested in the roots of rock and blues, Willie Dixon is a bluesman you should know about.

What else can be said
Who knows how different the history of music as we know it would be like without this genius. Every blues musician since and many classic rock bands owe him a huge debt. Read more
