Dixon signed with Chess Records as a recording artist, but he began performing less, being more involved with administrative tasks for the label. By 1951, he was a full-time employee at Chess, where he acted as producer, talent scout, session musician and staff songwriter. He was also a producer for the Chess subsidiary Checker Records. His relationship with Chess was sometimes strained, but he stayed with the label from 1948 to the early 1960s. During this time Dixon's output and influence were prodigious. The Original Wang Dang Doodle: The Chess Recordings. Compilation of recordings (some previously unreleased) from 1954 to 1990.

This is a good collection of hard-to-find and previously unreleased Dixon sides, although there are several Chess tracks that were left off that would have made it much more valuable. The title track is especially worthwhile, as is "Tail Dragger," but it is also easy to see from this collection why Dixon was never quite a star in his own right as a performer - he has a good voice, but not a very memorable or powerful one, compared with Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf et al. ~ Bruce Eder. 1 Wang Dang Doodle Willie Dixon 2:42.
