Record company owner, songwriter, producer, book author, magician, acrobat, naturalist... oh, and a wonderful bassist, too. Victor Lemonte Wooten has certainly packed in the adventures in a life that began on 11 September, 1964 in Mountain Home, Idaho.
Wooten's debut solo album, A Show of Hands, was recorded with only a four-string bass guitar; a love letter to the instrument, it's considered to be a seminal release. But that was just the first set for one of the most profound and influential bass heroes.
