The record
Big Joe Williams sings and plays guitar with Willie Dixon on bass and Larry Johnson (6) on harmonica across twelve tracks, the BVLP prefix marking the Bluesville imprint. Kenneth S. Goldstein produced and Martin Williams (6) wrote the notes. The listed pressing is a 1969 LP, catalog BVLP-1056, and the title counts strings rather than players.
