George ‘Wild Child’ Butler is one of the last original, hard-workin’ delta bluesmen. Although his career started not until the 1960s, the old times’ tradition is still clearly heard on his music. You may call it blues, you may call it southern soul, you may even call it rock ‘n’ roll, but you just can’t categorize him to any particular field. There’s just one George Butler, and then there are the others.
The list of the original Delta blues and soul artists continues to shrink and, unfortunately, George “Wild Child” Butler was scratched off this list by his untimely death in 2005. Like many of his musical colleagues with equally colorful monikers, Muddy Waters, “Sonny Boy” Williamson, and Howlin’ Wolf (to name but a few), Butler launched his career after moving to Chicago in the 1960s. The “Wild Child” made a limited number of commercial recordings, and, this 2001 Sho’ ’Nuff was his final studio effort. Great blues performers have distinctive styles and Butler certainly qualifies on this count. Butler’s unique vocals and harmonica receive great back up from guitarists Jimmy D. Lane and Jimmie Lee Robinson (on “You Had Quit Me), bassist Bob Stroger, and drummer Sam Lay.
