Search - Willie King :: Jukin' At Bettie's

Rocking juke joint blues from award-winning Alabama bluesman Willie King. Recorded live at his favorite venue, Bettie's Place, down a dirt road in rural Mississippi, Bettie's Place has been described by Living Blues Magazine as "one of the best juke joints in the state," and King has been playing there regularly for many years. This CD is produced by Willie King and Rick Asherson, his harmonica and keyboard player from London, England. Bettie's Place has featured in several documentaries, including Martin Scorsese's film about the blues "Feel Like Coming Home," and it was during this film shoot that King and Asherson connected with the outstanding sound engineer Sam Watson. Between them they have produced a ripping, rolling, rollicking CD that captures King's down-home juke joint blues in it's original and authentic setting.
