Willie Dixon - Chess Box (1990)

Melhor conhecido pelo seu talento como compositor e produtor, o baixista Willie Dixon ajudou a construir as gravadoras Chess e Cobra com seu suor. Apesar de essa caixa incluir 5 músicas que ele próprio interpreta, ela é sobretudo um tributo à sua genialidade criativa. Falta a Cobra lançar algo parecido, incluindo o trabalho do Dixon com os novatos Buddy Guy e Otis Rush.
