    Sonny Boy Williamson is the next Sonny Boy Williamson, Little Walter is the next Little Walter and the critics will be the next jealous critics

    Yes I must say this is a good thing they respected music enough to be casual. God Bless

    Such a great piece of blues music! Thank you guys for sharing it with all of us! One thing is that Sonny Boy Williamson was born back in eighteen hundreds while in your description under the video it says 1912

    It almost sounds like he's making love to that harp! Countless hours with that instrument in his hands. His nuance and subtlety are stunning. Kudos to the recording technicians for accurately capturing harp lightning is a bottle. Sonny Boy's face is an accurate picture of where the Blues comes from. After being spit on in the US, it had to feel pretty damn good being appreciated as they were in Europe at that time.

    This probably only aired in Europe and they didn't even bring his own band over, and its still fantastic.

    I like Sonny Boy for 2 reason, 1 He did this cut called "Your funeral & My trail , & 2 Because he was Elmore James Boy! "Look On Yonder Wall is a masterpiece! Blues doesn't get any better than that which is why so many blues players & singers try to recreate that style & sound. Try to tell me you don't hear Elmore James in Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy & Eric Clapton. You'll be lying to yourself.
