Willie Trice

William Augusta Trice (February 10, 1908 – December 11, 1976) was an American blues guitarist, singer and songwriter.

In 1971, he recorded two songs he wrote, "Three Little Kittens Rag" and "One Dime Blues", for Trix Records, which were released as a single the following year. Between 1971 and December 1973, he recorded enough songs (several of which he wrote himself), for an album, Blue and Rag'd, released by Trix in 1975.

Trice lived his whole life in the same area, continuing to play music as time and finances allowed.

Trice died at his home in Durham, North Carolina, in December 1976, at the age of 68. His brother Richard, who died in 2000, was buried next to him.
