  • Description

    The complete LP + 5 bonus tracks - limited edition pressing on 180g vinyl.

    Sonny Boy Williamson (Alex Miller 1912 - 1965) was one of the most inspiring harmonica players in blues history. Though he took his name from another well-known harmonica player, no one really sounded like him. Williamson developed his own signature harmonica style, always showing a metronome like timing and an endlessly inventive technique.

    This release consists of Sonny Boy's complete debut LP, Down And Out Blues, originally released in 1959 on the Chess Records subsidiary label, Checker. Featuring Muddy Waters, Jimmy Rogers, Willie Dixon, and Otis Spann, among others.

    Sonny Boy Williamson toured England with American Folk Blues Festival in 1963 and 1965 and appeared on the iconic tv music show Ready Steady Go (8 January 1965) backed by UK band,The T-Bones with Gary Farr.
