Big Joe Williams | Shake Your Boogie (Comp.) | Album

Shake Your Boogie is an essential 1990 compilation album by Delta blues pioneer Big Joe Williams, capturing the raw, percussive power of his later career. Released by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings (originally via Arhoolie Records), this 24-track collection masterfully combines two of his landmark 1960s LPs: Tough Times (1960) and Thinking of What They Did to Me (1969). It provides over an hour of uncompromising, 190-proof country blues that highlights his famous, heavily modified 9-string acoustic guitar.
