In June of 1963, Big Joe Williams stepped into Chicago's Pickle Factory, bringing his fierce, unfiltered blues to a crowd ready for the raw, unpolished power only he could deliver. Recorded by legendary blues producer Norman Dayron in Chicago, this performance captures the pure essence of Williams' nine-string guitar in an intimate setting performing a sound that resonated like a call from the Mississippi Delta, but with the sharp bite of Chicago's electric blues.

This never before released session from 1972 (produced by John Bentley) features the Deep South guitarist Big Joe Williams in a solo setting with only his mighty voice & his 9-string guitar, performing songs like InchHighway 99,Inch InchCadillac Blues,Inch InchChurch Bells Ringin',Inch InchPea Vine WhistleInch & others.
