Billy Boy Arnold has never received the attention he deserves. He's been on the scene since the late 50's but is probably much better known for a couple of classic songs that were covered by rock groups. "I wish you would" and "I ain't got you".This early 90's album shows him in good form,playing some great harp,and with a rockin' band backing him.If you don't have any of his records this is a great place to start. He's still recording and performing but never seems able to reach the level of acceptance that other chicago blues performers have acheived. Keep at it Billy!
