Product Description
Album Description
Recorded for the Trumpet label in Jackson, Mississippi, between 1951-53, Sonny Boy's early sides differ radically from his later, better known Chess/Checker recordings. Some really swing, evincing a strong jazzy feel - he clicks his fingers a lot, sounding extremely 'hip' for 1951 & 52. Elsewhere, certain other sides occasionally sound ragged - he's not always at one with the band. But despite any shortcomings in the recording process, Sonny Boy's instinctive sense of timing is invariably spot-on. Several of these songs are clearly his 'calling cards' : he later re-recorded 'Nine Below Zero', 'Too Close Together', 'Mr Downchild', and 'I'll Cross My Heart' for Checker, and they remained in his live set until his death. Much of this material is not readily available on Cd at present, making this a superb package.
