Big Joe Williams
Big Joe Williams was a gifted Delta blues singer, songwriter and guitarist,
noted for his unique rhythmic playing of a nine-string electric guitar. He was
born into a family of blues performers and left home at 19 to live the life of a
travelling bluesman playing for workers at logging camps, railways, stores, bars
and anywhere he could perform.
He was influenced by Charley Patton and in the 1930s travelled with the young
Muddy Waters and David 'Honeyboy' Edwards around the Mississippi Delta. In 1935
Williams recorded his best-known song, 'Baby Please Don't Go'. It would go on...
