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.

For nearly 20 years beginning in 1959, Chicago businessman Narvel Eatmon (aka Cadillac Baby) presided over his Bea & Baby record label, by far the most enduring of his many investments, which included a nightclub, a record store, an appliance repair service, and a confectionary. Some seven years after his demise, Wolf Records released a 24-track sampler from the Bea & Baby catalog. The lineup is very impressive, and reflects the original label's profile pretty well. It includes guitarists Hound Dog Taylor, Homesick James Williamson, L.G. McKinley, Robert Jr. Lockwood, and Earl Zebedee Hooker; pianists Eddie Boyd and Sunnyland Slim; blues harpists James Cotton, Carey Bell, and Little Mack Simmons; singing drummer Willie Williams; and vocalists Bobby Saxton and Andrew McMahon. This compilation is very similar to The Best of Cadillac: Meat & Gravy, a Bea & Baby "best-of" released by Culture Press in 1998. Unfortunately, the two simultaneously issued collections have 16 tracks in common. In 2003, Castle Music compounded the confusion by releasing a double-disc Bea & Baby collection called Meat & Gravy. Public comprehension of Cadillac Baby's legacy was muddled even further when the misleadingly titled Cadillac Records, a film based upon the story of the Chess label, came out in 2008. By then the Bea & Baby catalog was being administered by the Earwig Music Company, Inc., and plans were afoot for more careful, comprehensive, and conscientious reissuing. ~arwulf arwulf
