George "Wild Child" Butler

George "Wild Child" Butler (born October 1, 1936) is an American blues guitarist, harmonica player, and vocalist.

Butler began playing blues music in bands from the late 1950s, but it wasn't until 1966 that he began to receive notice, after moving to Chicago and signing with Jewel Records. His early sessions were recorded with Willie Dixon and Jimmy Dawkins as sidemen. [Bill Dahl, [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:aifoxq95ldje~T1 George "Wild Child" Butler] at Allmusic] He recorded an album for Mercury Records in 1969.

In 1981, Butler moved to Ontario, Canada, where he played regularly. In the 1990s, he began recording with producer Mike Vernon in England, which resulted in two albums released on Bullseye Blues.
