Big Golden Wheeler was born In Georgia in 1929 Since he was a little boy, he passionately loved the blues but it was not until the beginning of the 50’s when Wheeler started to play At that time he drove a cab and one of his regular customers was singer and harmonica player Buster Brown Buster used to sing and play harmonica while riding in the cab and often they sang together, so Buster encouraged him to try in Finally he moved to Chicago, where he immediately he formed his first band There he met Junior Wells who taught him some harmonica tricks, although Wheeler always says he is a self-taught harmonica player, because he never tries to imitate any other harmonica players During the 90’s he became Jimmy Johnson’s close friend Johnson produced this album that Wheeler used to sell in all his shows This recording came to Hannes Folterbauer’s hands and he has recently published a reissue for Wolf Records The album includes eleven songs, one of them is an instrumental played by Jimmy Johnson himself, who has also done guitar, bass and keyboards work You will also find in a couple of songs Luther Adams and John Primer on guitars and Willie Kent on bass, while Timothy Taylor is on drums If you are one of those genuine 60’s Chicago blues fans, this is certainly an album that cannot be missing in your record collection
