In this episode hear Willie “Big Eyes” Smith talk about his history working in the blues world with Muddy Waters, Legendary Blues Band, solo records, and his new record with Pinetop Perkins Joined at the Hip. We’ve all read about how Willie was in Muddy Waters’ Band but what they leave out is that Willie “Big Eyes” Smith has been making some of the best Chicago Blues in the last ten years.  This is a blues legend that is putting out music worthy of that title.
