 True Blues
Submitted on: 2009-07-06 |

| I was looking for true blues. The gritty kind. The real deal. I found it in this album. I bought this album about 5 years ago. I listened to it all the time, washing dishes, laying on the beach, driving in the car. I love to listen to it alone, preferably with headphones. I loved the feeling it gave me. I wanted a friend to appreciate it, so I loaned it out about 3 years ago.....Yep you guessed it, I never got it back. Enough was enough, Sonny Boy is an addiction I need this cd. Just ordered it again. |

For a long time I have been listening to the blues, like Clapton, Robert Cray, Paul Butterfield, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, the Allman Brothers and Jimi Hendrix played the blues. Mostly to be honest I preferred Clapton, Butterfield, the Allman Brothers. I liked those white guys. I'm white. Then I heard this stuff.
By the way, you should also listen to Howling Wolf. |

An inexpensive gem

I am amazed that this cost so little, but was SOOOOO good. Sonnny Boy II is (IMHO) the better of the Sonny Boys. A lot of people will justifiably rave about his skill on the harp, but do not let that distract you from his vocals. This performer has a tremendous voice.
Sonny Boy Williamson II is a complete blues package, musician and vocalist.
Although he is a polished performer, there is still a huge amount of emotion that comes through his work.
This recording is very clear and enjoyable, which is very good, considering the time and recording technology available when the originals were made. (No, it's not Alan Lomax recording in hotel rooms, but still . . . . .)
If you liked this, you might want to consider looking at "King Biscut Time" - also available on Amazon.
Also good is "The Essential Sonny Boy Williamson" - but please make sure you get the right Sonny Boy, as both of them have an 'Essentials' CD available. |

Essential blues

| Sonny Boy II is not my favorite. I like more honk from the harp and less undercurrent of menace from the vocals, and I like Little Walter's and Paul Butterfield's ways of extending the blues melodically without losing the Chicago of it. But Sonny Boy grows on me, and this album has a lot of great stuff for a guy like me to hear who's trying to pick up journeyman skills on the harp. |
