music guide Artist Detail: Billy Boy Arnold

artist image

The combination of Delta-influenced blues with a more urban sophistication not only defines Arnold's sound, but was also a significant contribution in the early, formative days of rock and roll. His early work with Bo Diddley brought him some local attention, but he never received the recognition he rightly deserved.
