[1] Compared to his brother, he was something of a latecomer to the blues, as he did not start playing until his late teens, but had a career lasting over half a century.
After the move in 1956, and seeing his brother rubbing shoulders with blues musicians such as Little Walter, Wheeler acquired a guitar and started to practice and jam with other guitarists.
[2] The Jaguars disbanded in 1972, and one of their former employers, Otis Clay, asked Wheeler to join his backing group the OCBs, a stay that lasted three years.
He was out of the music business for a decade, before in 1986, Otis Rush gave him a weekend engagement which turned in to regular work lasting until 1993.
[4] The collection had ten original numbers written by Wheeler, plus three reworkings of older material including a version of Sonny Boy Williamson II's "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl".
Apart from Wheeler himself on guitar and vocals, his band featured Billy Flynn, rhythm guitar; Ken Saydak, piano; Bob Stroger, bass; Vernon Rodgers, drums; Golden "Big" Wheeler, harmonica; and Gloria Thompson-Rodgers, vocals.
