4.0 out of 5 stars A fine, mid-priced collection, 5 Sep 2003

By	Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

AlLthough he is not the man that most people think of when they hear the name "Sonny Boy Williamson", Tennessee's John Lee 'Sonny Boy' Williamson almost single-handedly made the little mouth organ a major lead instrument for blues bands.

Williamson's first single was 1937's seminal and oft-covered "Good Morning, School Girl", and that song opens this excellent collection which gathers 40 of Williamson's best sides.
It does miss out on a few classics, most notably "Bluebird Blues", which keeps it from being definitive, but unless you're a hardcore fan, this is pretty much all you'll ever need.

John Lee Williamson must not be confused with the older Aleck 'Rice' Miller, who also took (or was given) the name Sonny Boy Williamson...even though the two men did apparently meet and even play together on occation, their style is wildly different, as is their vocal delivery. John Lee Williamson actually had a slight speech impediment, resulting in his "slurred" manner of singing.
Also, Williamson played relatively low-key acoustic blues, whereas Miller's music was much rougher, with a full electric ensemble backing him.
