Sonny Boy Williamson II

Description:

Rare masterpiece recorded during the 63-64 European tour is back in print! Sunny Boy II has an unshakable status among all blues fans. During his European tour (63-64), he recorded with The Animals, The Yardbirds, and others, influencing future generations, but his originality was outstanding and unrivaled. This disc is "THE BLUES OF SONNY BOY WILLIAMSON" released on STORYVILLE, plus three bonus tracks from VOGUE's "SONNY BOY WILLIAMSON &MEMPHIS SLIM". His blues is brooding, wicked and tasteful, and his harp playing is full of rhythmic destructiveness and powerful, fervent impact. This is a rare piece that allows you to fully appreciate the flavor and depth of his music.
