Pretty cool, recording with people like Willie Big Eyes Smith. Check it out AND LISTEN TO BITS HERE. (Of course, what we're really waiting for is the new Chuck Berry CD, with Lohr and the rest of them.)
I also played with Willie "Big Eyes" Smith on a second Arthur Williams CD which I also produced, "Midnight Blue". Unfortunately, the record company (Rooster Blues) has since gone out of business, but you can find this CD easily on eBay. Probably the best Arthur Williams CD out there, and Willie absolutely smokes on drums. Another Arthur Williams CD left off this list is "Ain't Goin' Down" on the Fedora label...has the late great Sam Carr on drums, probably the prime exponent of the Delta shuffle...also still available...
