One of the most prominent figures of the international blues scene of our time, Big Daddy Wilson was introduced to the blues in Germany. The blues dissolved his inhibitions and soon his warm, soulful singing voice made him a dominant figure on jam nights.
One of the most prominent figures in the international blues scene of our time, Big Daddy Wilson has had a very special life. Hailing from tiny, isolated and very poor Edenton, North Carolina, Wilson was introduced to the blues during his time in the army in Germany. A reclusive, poor Southern boy, his first songs and poems were written for the heart of a German girl thousands of miles from his homeland. The blues dissolved his inhibitions, and soon his warm, soulful singing voice made him a fixture at jam nights across Germany. Since then he has released more than a dozen studio albums, with hit songs such as Walk a Mile In My Shoes, Cross Creek Road and Thumb a Ride.
