This LP came out in 1977 and contains 16 cuts from Hooker
and Williams that were recorded in the late 50s and early 60s. Even
though he had to share it with the more-famous Hooker, and he only got 6
tracks, it was Jody Williams's first album. In 1954 Williams was the
band leader for Howlin' Wolf and a session man at Chess. Williams played
on a number of Chess sessions with Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson,
Bo Diddley and Billy Boy Arnold. After getting a couple of bad deals,
Williams stopped recording, and some thought he might never record
again. He was coaxed out of retirement in the 90s.
