Born in Farrell, Mississippi in 1960, Terry “Big T” Williams has played blues for most of his life. At age 11, he began tutoring with local blues legend “Mr. Johnnie” Billington. Mr. Johnnie taught him the basics, and Big T learned the rest on the road backing up Big Jack Johnson, the Jelly Roll Kings, Wesley “Junebug” Jefferson, Big George Brock and many others. In addition, Big T sat in with blues icons like Albert King and Bobby “Blue” Bland. Through the years, he’s owned a few blues clubs, survived a stint at Parchman Farm and put out a handful of well-received blues albums. In summer 2009, Big T received the “Best Guitar Player of the Year” award from the Bay Area Blues Society’s West Coast Hall Of Fame. Soon after, he headed into Clarksdale Soundstage recording studio to record. Terry represents decades of juke joint blues experience, brushes with greatness and just plain hard work.
