⬇️ WILLIE LOVE ⬇️
(6CD)
BIOGRAPHY
Love was born in Duncan, Mississippi. In 1942, he met Sonny Boy
Williamson II in Greenville, Mississippi. They played regularly together
at juke joints throughout the Mississippi Delta. Love was influenced by
the piano playing of Leroy Carr and was adept at both standard blues and
boogie-woogie styling.
In 1947 Charley Booker moved to Greenville, where he worked with Love.
Two years later, Oliver Sain also relocated to Greenville to join his
stepfather, Love, as the drummer in a band fronted by Williamson. When
Williamson recorded for Trumpet Records in March 1951, Love played the
piano on the recordings. Trumpet's owner, Lillian McMurray, had Love
return the following month and again in July 1951, when he recorded his
best-known song, "Everybody's Fishing", which he wrote.
Love played piano and sang, with guitar accompaniment by Elmore James
and Joe Willie Wilkins. His backing band was known as the Three Aces. A
studio session in December 1951 had Love backed by Little Milton
(guitar), T.J. Green (fiddle), and Junior Blackman (drums). In his
teenage years, Eddie Shaw played tenor saxophone with both Milton and
Love.
Under his own name, Love did not return to the studio until March 1953,
when he cut "Worried Blues" and "Lonesome World Blues." Despite the
friendship between them, Love did not utilise Williamson's playing on
any of his own material. In April 1953, Love and Williamson recorded in
Houston, Texas, in Love's final recording session.
Love played piano on Williamson's albums I Ain't Beggin' Nobody and
Clownin' with the World (1953). All of Love's own recordings appeared on
the compilation album Greenville Smokin', issued in 2000.
After suffering the effects of years of heavy drinking, Love died of
bronchopneumonia, in August 1953, at the age of 46. He was interred at
the Elmwood Cemetery in Jackson, Mississippi.
