Billy Butler

Billy Butler (1925-1991) - is best known for his playing on recordings by Bill Doggett during the 1950s. His solo on the 1956 hit "Honky Tonk Part I & II" is one of the most imitated and best-remembered of the era.

Butler recorded with many other Jazz artists and also made records on his own.

His tasteful and "smooth" playing provides blues guitarists with many different ways to inject a jazzier feel into their playing.
