Joe Lee “Big Joe” Williams, famous for his emotional singing, his 9 string guitar, and his composition “Baby Please Don't Go, ” was not only one of the pioneer Mississippi blues singers/guitarists, but also a talent scout and record producer.
Big Joe produced this remarkable set of recordings in his hometown of Crawford, Miss. in 1971 by gathering talented relatives, neighbors, and acquaintances to hopefully present their songs to the wider world. Although belatedly, this CD brings you some of the most moving, pure, and authentic country blues ever put on records. Thanks, Big Joe!
