Billy Boy Arnold
 
Harmonica player considered a giant by blues aficianados. Associated, over his long career, with his teacher "Sonny Boy" Williamson, Junior Wells (at whose funeral he played an epitaph) & Little Walter. This musician -- who plays in both contemporary blues/rock and old-style settings -- was the source of mid-1950s Vee-Jay classics "I Wish You Would" and "I Ain't Got You." Arnold also worked with Bo Diddley, Earl Hooker, and Howlin' Wolf.

Has made a comeback with his new Alligator Records releases Back Where I Belong (1993) and Eldorado Cadillac (1995). Also in the library is his 1984 French release, Ten Million Dollars (Blue Phoenix).
