Willie Dixon was a talented stand-up bass player, producer, and occasional vocalist for Chess Records, but his greatest gift lay in his pen. Dixon was covered from the forties "If The Sea Was Whiskey" (1947 by The Big Three Trio) until nowadays "Just Like I Treat You" & "I Can't Quit You Baby" (Rolling Stones). Timeless covers are "You Can't Judge A Book By The Cover", "Wang Dang Doodle", "Spoonful", "Diddy Wah Diddy", "I Just Want To Make Love To You" and of course "Hoochie Coochie Man" by Muddy Waters, The Allman Brothers Band, Alexis Korner, Motörhead, Phish, Steppenwolf, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Healey, Eric Clapton, and Chuck Berry. To name only a very few!
