Blues is the roots

.. "Blues is the roots, the rest is the fruits" said Willy Dixon...such a wise man I guess... and a good synthetis of
today's american music.

Handyman for Chess records in the 50's, he acted as well as session musician, songwriter or producer and wrote many blues standards such as Little Red Rooster, My Babe or Ain't Supertitious.
He worked with the greatest from Muddy Waters to Howling Wolf and left such an imprint on modern blues.
