Willie King- King of the Blues - Tribute

Podcast Tribute to the classic Blues and the modern day heros of music. Lets step into time and relive the the era that set the nation and time to what it is today. Join me as we bring the past to the present.

Willie King has loved and played the blues ever since he was 7 years old, as Willie says it, "I am the Blues." Living in one of the poorest regions, of one of the poorest states in America, could give anyone a case of blues but Willie is constantly struggling against the odds to gain control. He's one of the true Alabama bluesmen who's lived the blues everyday of his life. It's no fad with him. When you hear Willie playing the blues you're hearing the truth and you can feel it. He's presently working with the Alabama Blues Project helping with blues education programs throughout the state and has recently completed his first solo CD called, "I am the Blues." It was self-produced by Willie. His newest CDs, "Freedom Creek" and "Living In A New World" on Rooster Blues are available in most record stores.
