Big Bill Broonzy: 1893 - 1958. Big Bill Broonzy built his reputation on a bedrock of virtuoso skills - as a guitar player extraordinaire, accomplished singer, and prolific songwriter. He became a leading figure in pre-World War II blues, ultimately incorporating rural Mississippi blues with a more refined, big city sound that called Chicago home. Broonzy articulated his songs with a warm, rich vocal tone and clear diction while his brisk and inventive guitar picking became intrinsic lessons to aspiring guitarists everywhere. He was also one of the first blues artists to make it big overseas, the orginal “blues ambassador,” undoubtedly influencing a whole new generation of British blues rockers a decade later.
