Return of a Legend is an album by the American musician Jody Williams, released in 2002.[2][3] Williams had not recorded music in around 30 years; he was inspired in part to return to the studio after listening to his playing on a 1964 tape he found at his house.[4][5] He supported the album with a North American tour.[6]
The album was nominated for two W. C. Handy Awards, for "Traditional Blues Album" and "Comeback Blues Album", winning for the latter.[7][8]
The album was produced by Dick Shurman.[9] Williams played "Red Lightnin'", his Gibson guitar.[10] Billy Boy Arnold and Tinsley Ellis were among the musicians backing Williams.[11][12] "Jive Spot" is a version of Williams's song "Five Spot", which he had first recorded with Otis Spann.[13]
