Willie Williams - Raw Unpolluted Soul Music CD

Arkansas born drummer, guitarist and vocalist Willie Williams became involved in the Chicago blues scene of the mid 1960's and played in the bands of Howlin' Wolf, Carrie Bell and others. Williams also released a handful of singles under his own name that ranged from Chicago style blues to undiluted soul music. In 1973 he assembled a band of blues heavyweights for his lone solo album which included Hubert Sumlin, Pinetop Perkins, Eddie Taylor and Carrie Bell, with production help from the great Willie Dixon. Williams wrote, arranged and sang all the songs and also served as the drummer for the sessions. Although the album "Raw Unpolluted Soul" was released on the tiny Supreme Records label, it has since become a highly valued collector's item among not only blues fans, but fans of Northern soul as well. Finally available in the digital domain, all selections have been newly remastered.
