| | Sonny Boy Williamson [II] |
| | The music Sonny Boy made for her between 1951 to 1954 show him in peak form, his vocal, instrumental, and songwriting skills honed to perfection. | | | Williamson struck paydirt on his first Trumpet release, "Eyesight to the Blind" and though the later production on his Chess records would make the Trumpet sides seem woefully under-recorded by comparison, they nonetheless stand today as classic performances, capturing juke-joint music in one of its finest hours. | | | This would prove to be the longest and most enduring relationship of his life outside of music, with Mattie putting up with the man's rambling ways, and living a life of general rootlessness in the bargain. |

| | TBH, Dixon-Hooker |
| | James was a Johnson disciple, but with the advent of the electric guitar, he utterly re-created the sound. | | | After World War II, he returned home, playing with several electric-based bands, and like Sonny Boy 2, recorded for Trumpet Records -- Dust My Broom -- before heading off to Chicago in 1952. | | | He'd settled in Helena, Arkansas, by 1941, where he and Lockwood made their mark regionally with the daily, 15-minute radio show "King Biscuit Time." Still, Williamson did not record until 1951, when he went to the Jackson-based Trumpet label. |

| | Charlie Sayles, whose subtle and expressive acoustic style sounds closest to the Sonny Boy himself, also has a new album in the works. | | | Sonny Boy wrote two Christmas songs: "Sonny Boy's Christmas Blues" on Trumpet, one of his very saddest, ("unless you come home to me, I'll be drunk all day Christmas Day") and "Santa Claus" on Checker ("searching through "my baby's dresser drawers" looking for my "Santa Claus" [presents])-- which is where the police caught him! | | | Tom appealed to many that they comb their CD collections for excess and send or sell the CDs for the benefit of the kids in Glendora. |

| | His call-and-response style of alternating vocal passages with pungent harmonica blasts was a huge musical development that would be adopted by virtually every blues harpist to follow him. | | | In 1937, under the direction of Lester Melrose, he made his first recording, the seminal "Good Morning, School Girl", for Victor's subsidiary Bluebird label. | | | Sonny Boy recorded more than 120 sides for Bluebird/Victor between 1937 and 1947, many of them turning up in the post war repertoires of various Chicago blues giants. |

| | Wells (his real name was Amos Blakemore) was born in 1934 in Memphis, where, in his teens, he was taught the basics of harmonica by Junior Parker, the local figure who, among other things, wrote "Mystery Train," an iconic early hit for Elvis. | | | He learned his look from Guitar Slim, a New Orleans bluesman Buddy admired as a boy. | | | In 1952, when Little Walter quit Muddy's band in a huff, Wells was recruited to take his place. |

| | Ashford says Sonny Boy II "took it up (harmonica and music) himself. | | | He claimed to fans and blues researchers that he was the original Sonny Boy (John Lee Williamson) who came from Jackson, Tennessee and recorded for Bluebird and later RCA Victor until his untimely death at the hands of an assailant on a Chicago street in the late 1940's. | | | His real name was Alex Miller; we all called him "Rice." We give him that name when he was a baby. |

| | There's a difference between teenage boys seducing teenage girls and young studs seducing teenage girls, and Boyz II Men dare you to figure out what it is. They're polite and lubricious in equal measure, role models who'll never call that sweet young thing again. | | | This fetish has a long history in rock and roll. | | | Still, they were more teen-appropriate than 2 Live Crew, or Ice Cube's "Givin' Up the Nappy Dug Out." And in jumped Kelly, a clever beat popularizer who encapsulated his vision with "I Like the Crotch on You." Kelly soon warmed up his voice, hooked up his tunes, and on 1995's R. |

| | Glossary: Williamson, Sonny Boy |
| | After leaving his radio show around 1944 and wandering around the South playing juke joints, Sonny Boy II began recording for the Bluebird label in 1951 and then switched to the Chess label in 1955. | | | The original Sonny Boy Williamson (I) is John Lee Williamson, nicknamed Sonny Boy because he was so young (about 16) when he hit the road seeking fame and fortune with his harmonica. | | | He began recording in 1937 atage 23, when he recorded "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl." He was profoundly influential in the development of the blues harp and, according to Billy Boy Arnold, was to black people a folk hero of the same magnitude as boxing champ Joe Louis during his lifetime. |

| | Needless to say, if I owned a time machine I'd be in that audience. | | | As Sonny Boy Williamson was born only 4 years after that event, in 1899, and only 15 miles down the road in Glendora and with obvious familial ties to Tutwiler, I can't help but wonder if that seminal bluesman was his father, grandfather, or one of his uncles. | | | On the base of the tombstone you can see many coins, a harmonica, and a guitar string. |

| | While some hardliners will point to his early 1950s Trumpet recordings as his most undiluted work, Sonny Boy's tenure at Chess Records was his longest and most successful and therefore deserves first look for the novice coming to this remarkable bluesman at ground level. | | | This is another entry into MCA's Chess 50th Anniversary Series and the digital transfers here are exemplary, making this an automatic audio upgrade for those who already have this material in their collection. |
