Music reviews of His Best
Music Review: An inexpensive gem
Rating: 5 Stars
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.
Description of His Best
Japanese only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD - playable on all CD players) pressing. Universal. 2008.This is Sonny Boy Williamson II, whose 1940s Mississippi Delta radio broadcasts for King Biscuit Time made him one of the most influential of all blues musicians. A master harmonica player, he created relaxed songs, often humorous, that reminded urban listeners of their country roots. These tracks are from his years at Chess, beginning in the mid-1950s until his death in 1965. His recording bands feature Muddy Waters, Otis Spann, and Robert Lockwood Jr., among others. Perhaps his best-known track here is "Don't Start Me to Talkin' (I'll Tell You Everything I Know)," but his signature sound is evident on every high trill he played. --Robert Gordon
