Bill Johnson

Bassist Expenses Johnson was energetic on a single scene as other bluesmen with exactly the same or nearly identical name, including many Howlin’ Wolf sidemen. The bassist was connected with Albert Collins’ rings in the past due ’60s and ’70s. Before that a profession highlight had been among the individuals in the mind-boggling conference of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley entitled Two Great Guitars. This credit properly shows he was from the era of Chicago blues music artists who could actually tackle the brand new rhythmic constructions of rock and roll & move. Although seemingly nearly as regular a participant in Chess documenting sessions as a number of the home music group types, Johnson occasionally worked in tempo areas with pianist Lafayette Leake and drummers Billy Downing or Edell Robertson. Drummer Herbert Henderson was his timekeeping partner in the outstanding rings of acoustic guitar slinger Albert Collins, who following the connection with the ’60s was rocking out having a vengeance, pressing Johnson even more together with the defeat than Berry and Diddley.
