Here is what people are saying about the Sonny Boy Williamson - His Best
5 Star Rating  "True Blues"2009-07-06
- Reviewed By User: AMMNF3H0ON0CL
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.

- Reviewed By User: A3DFKHXFBUTL30
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.

This is a no-brainer... inexpensive album that has everything you could possibly need. Definitely recommend.
 
5 Star Rating  "An inexpensive gem"2008-08-11
- Reviewed By adboorman
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.
 
5 Star Rating  "Essential blues"2008-04-08
- Reviewed By tmarshal@nttc.edu
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.
 
5 Star Rating  "Sonny Boy # 2"2007-09-12
- Reviewed By avidoldiesfan
When Aleck Ford, alias Alex "Rice" Miller, claimed during one his early Forties radio broadcasts for King Biscuit Time on KFFA in Helena, Arkansas to be THE "Sonny Boy" Williamson, John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson was already well known by that nickname in the Chicago area [see my review of the CD Shake The Boogie].

However, born on December 5, 1899 in Glendora, Mississippi, Ford would become the better known of the two, especially in Europe where, decked out in his two-tone suits and bowler hats, he would generate a large, loyal following in the early Sixties.

Before then he had two charted R&B hits on the Checker label, with the first, Don't Start Me Talkin' - on which he was backed by Muddy Waters and Jimmy Rogers on guitar - peaking at # 3 in November 1955 b/w All My Love In Vain). The second charter came almost exactly one year later when Keep It To Yourself made it to # 14 R&B. The B-side of that record was The Key (To Your Door) which seems to be unavailable (the other Williamson CD, The Essential Sonny Boy Williamson, carries a previously unreleased take).

After a seven year absence from the charts he returned in 1963 with Help Me (# 24 R&B) b/w Bye Bye Bird, again on Checker, and would go on to cut several LPs with some well known groups of the day, among them The Yardbirds and The Animals.

Van Morrison and The Moody Blues would also pay homage by cutting, respectively, Help Me and Bye Bye Bird, while Bring It On Home (To Me) became hits for Sam Cooke (1962), Eddie Floyd (1968), The Animals (1965), and Lou Rawls (1970). The most faithful rendition, however, was by Led Zeppelin on the album Led Zeppelin II.

Williamson, who died in Helena on May 25, 1965. is widely regarded as one the most influential harmonica-playing bluesmen of his era, and if you want to know why, simply buy this great CD.
