Billy Boy's fun-filled blues

I've been listening to a lot of BLUES lately, and I think the girls are beginning to revolt. There are complaints the music "all sounds the same."
I am going to offer up BILLY "BOY" ARNOLD as an example that not all blues sounds the same.
One of the first Chicago bluesmen actually born in CHICAGO (as opposed to migrating to the Windy City from the South), Arnold learned the HARMONICA from his neighbor, the legendary John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson, and recorded with Bo Diddley early in the pioneer rocker's career.
Arnold's early work for Vee-Jay Records bristles with excitement and fun.
This blues is good-time music, made for dancing.
It's unlike most of the blues the girls have heard.
Arnold produced a "rockin' blues," so it's no surprise his songs, notably "I Wish You Would" and "I Ain’t Got You," have been covered by rock bands.
Despite his influential music, Arnold faded into relative obscurity in the late 1960s as gig opportunities became more limited. He supported his family by driving a Chicago city bus and later became a parole officer.
His career revived in the 1970s, however, and he continues to make his fun-filled music today.
