Rosa's All-Stars Band Feat. Willie Buck

Willie Buck, born Willie Crawford on November 26, 1937, in Houston, Mississippi, is a celebrated blues singer and a cornerstone of Chicago’s blues legacy. In 1953, as a teenager, he moved to Chicago and quickly immersed himself in the city’s vibrant blues scene. Deeply influenced by Muddy Waters, Buck became a prominent figure on the South Side, captivating audiences with his authentic sound and performances.

Over six decades later, Willie Buck has cemented his reputation as an internationally acclaimed performer and recording artist. Known for his devotion to traditional Chicago blues, he has released several albums, including collaborations with Delmark Records, and toured globally in countries like Brazil, Argentina, and Finland. His contributions to the genre earned him induction into the Chicago Blues Hall of Fame in 2004.

In recognition of his impact on the city’s cultural heritage, Chicago honored him with an honorary street named "Willie Buck Way." Today, he continues to perform and record, embodying the spirit of classic Chicago blues while inspiring new generations of musicians.
