Willie Dixon was an influential American blues artist, known for his exceptional skills as a bassist, vocalist, songwriter, arranger, and record producer. Born on July 1, 1915 in Vicksburg, Mississippi, he made significant contributions to the blues genre throughout his career. His immense talent led him to be inducted into The Blues Foundation Hall of Fame in 1980 and the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 for his early influence. In 2015, he was also honored with induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Although often miscredited for writing "Big Boss Man," it was actually Luther Dixon who penned the song. However, Willie Dixon's exceptional bass playing can be heard on Jimmy Reed's recording of the track. He was married to Marie Booker (later known as Marie Dixon), further adding to his personal legacy.

With a sound reminiscent of artists like Memphis Slim, Magic Sam, Sonny Boy Williamson II and Elmore James among others from that era; Willie Dixon left an indelible mark on the music industry. His unique style influenced countless musicians and continues to inspire new generations today.

Willie Dixon’s Ovation output of the mid-70’s concluded with this 1976 album What Happened To My Blues. Considering Dixon is one of the foremost Chicago Blues recording artists starting in the mid-50’s, his lesser known later recorded material is ripe for rediscovery, particularly this period where he was an established veteran artist.
