Just so we're all on the same page here . . . The 'first' Sonny Boy Williamson, aka John Lee Curtis Williamson, was an American blues harmonica player, born in Jackson, Tennessee, whose first record 'Good Morning, School Girl' was a hit in 1937. Who hasn't boogied to that song even today (thanks to modern day Johnny Winter, and Alvin Lee)? He was widely popular throughout the whole southeast and practically synonymous with the blues harmonica for the next decade, He was murdered in 1948. But this compilation disc is not that Sonny Boy. Enter  Sonny Boy Williamson II, aka Aleck "Rice" Miller, who was actually the more famous of the two Sonny Boys. He was the long time host of King Biscuit Time broadcast out of Helena, Arkansas on AM radio station KFFA. He recorded for Chess Records in the 1950s and 1960s. Always one for wandering, he found himself in England during the mid-1960s performing with eager young British musicians in front of reverential audiences. The cd Sonny Boy Williamson/The Blues Harp Heroes - The Encore Collection is an essential for anyone wanting to catch this giant playing with other giants of the time (yes, including Clapton). He was born on December 5, 1899, in Glendora, Mississippi, and died on May 25, 1965 in Helena, Arkansas.
