"Weepin' Willie" Robinson has a long, enthralling story to tell, and this exciting array of superbly recorded blues songs tells it well. Born in Atlanta 73 years ago to migrant farm workers, and orphaned at an early age, Willie worked his way through the Depression and World War II before moving to New Jersey, where he made a name as a nightclub emcee until B.B. King persuaded him to sing. For years, Willie played the Boston-area club and lounge circuit, then hooked up with fellow blues vet "Mighty" Sam McClain, whose connections made this album happen and who donates outstanding vocals on four songs. With the exceptionally talented recording artist Susan Tedeschi chipping in as well with vocals and guitar, this album shuffles, sways, and takes flight on such premium cuts as "Fever," "Glory Train," and "Can't Go Wrong, Woman" (featuring ace axe man Jimmy D. Lane on lead guitar). --Alan Greenberg
