J.W. Williams
 
Perhaps the stereotypical Chicago bluesman, this big bellowing fellow (and bassist, too) is one of the city's busiest performers. A mainstay of the Buddy Guy/Junior Wells bands of the '70s, you can currently catch him performing solo or with his band, the Chi-Town Hustlers. Says the Chicago Reader, though he "has always sounded to me as if he'd rather be playing funk than blues, ... he's a solid craftsman whose tendency to overplay is tempered by a solid rhythmic sense and an energetic attack."
