by John Ziegler "I've been around the blues a long time and have experienced various blues artists all over the world. One of the best I've ever know is Mighty Joe Young. They don't call him " Mighty" for nothing. He plays ·a " Mighty" guitar and has a " Mighty" tone, especially when he sings and plays the blues. As a producer, I've used Joe Young on many sessions, including " I Am The Blues". In fact, I use him every time I can get him". (1974)

When a man of the stature of Willie Dixon says that about anyone, you better believe it.

A man from Louisiana, who found the blues in Milwaukee, had his head turned around by T-Bone Walker in , and finally found his home in the blues capitol of Chicago. Our cover story in this month's issue of " Airwaves": Mighty Joe Young.

On March 7th Joe was in our studio for a live interview. The following is a portion of what transpired:
