"Folks: Does anyone have any information about an obscure harp player  in 
Chicago called "Rhythm Willie"? I know his real name was "Willie Hood"  and I 
have a copulation on the German "Wolfe" Label with 5 tunes by Rhythm  Willie and 
His Gang. I swear he was doing John Poppa before John Poppa and  he attempts 
overblowing 40+ years before Howard Levy. He does not have the  name 
recognition as Sonny Boy I or II or Little Walter but he had  undeniable talent"
 
.....I don't have the information you seek, but I sure hope you meant  
"compilation" since the other would be a separate issue  altogether   :)
