This was the most unusual, and probably the most difficult to assemble of MCA's Chess Box series, 

mostly because of the unusual nature of Willie Dixon's contribution to Chess Records. 

To be sure, Dixon rates a place in the history of the label right alongside that of Muddy Waters, 

Howlin' Wolf, and Little Walter, but his role was more subtle than that of a performer. 

So he is all over this 3-LPs set, as a songwriter, producer, and bassist, and occasionally as a 

singer as well, but the unifying element are the Dixon songs.Still, it's difficult to imagine 

anyone complaining over an "excuse" to bring some of the best sides of Muddy, Walter, 

the Wolf, Diddley, Taylor, Lowell Fulson, Jimmy Witherspoon, Sonny Boy Williamson, 

Otis Rush, and even Dixon's own '40s outfit, the Big Three together in one release. 

The sound is impeccable, holding up to standards even a dozen years later, 

and the set includes a well-illustrated and annotated booklet ...(AllMusic)
