About the Album

EMMA WILSON – “A SPOONFUL OF WILLIE DIXON” ALBUM RELEASED - FRIDAY 2nd MAY 2025 - All Digital Sites & on CD

 

“This album is a true example of how Emma has developed as an artist and her passion for the Blues. Recorded in January 2025 Live in Sheffield, England in one room in one day”

British Rhythm & Blues Singer Emma Wilson releases her 3rd Album through Memphis based distribution giants “Select-O-Hits” following the success of her 2022 all original Americana influenced excellent debut “Wish Her Well” and the exquisite and highly acclaimed STAX-esque 2023 release “Memphis Calling” an album she recorded at ‘Sam Phillips Recording Studios’ Memphis with The Hi Rhythm Section giving her the international hit “What Kind of Love” Emma Wilson featuring Don Bryant.

Returning to her beloved Memphis in May 2024, Emma performed at the inaugural “RiverBeat” festival with 

“The Bo-Keys” (who’s bandleader Scott Bomar produced “Memphis Calling”) she then drove down the Blues Highway to Clarksdale to sing at the legendary “Ground Zero Club” at the invitation of the “Pinetop Perkins Foundation”. 

Visiting Clarksdale created the spark for Emma’s new album “A Spoonful of Willie Dixon”. Having recorded Willies’ “Hoochie Coochie Ma(ma)” on “Memphis Calling” - prompting pianist Archie ‘Hubbie’ Turner to exclaim “She’s not from Middlesbrough, she’s from Mississippi!” - Emma was inspired to sing more of Dixon’s songs and record them with her wonderful British Band. 

The deep respect that Emma and the band have for the legendary Willie Dixon is evident in their interpretation of his songs.

Emma also showcases her extraordinarily versatile blues voice through his brilliant compositions.
