Description

This electric guitar pioneer long reigned over a world of clubs and taverns in Bronzeville - Chicago's Black district - before he headed the revival that allowed blues to find an international audience in the Fifties. Transposing the blues tradition into an urban context between the wars, Big Bill added several hundred recordings to his achievements. Records in which his highly refined poetic sense gave him a weapon to describe the ghetto's day-to-day reality and evoke with humour the key events that left their mark on Black America.
