Sonny Boy Williamson – Nine Below Zero
Some of the urban Blues recordings have lost their sparkle over the years, but this collection stands out because it continues to thrill.
I first knew the songs from the double album which my brother had. My CD is the Charley Blues Masterworks Vol 22 which I purchased in Colac over 15 years ago.
The songs have just continued to get stronger over the years. Sonny Boy shows off his versatility and ability in recordings made over a long period of time with a number of different bands. The album is arranged chronologically, the later recordings are especially powerful. A number were recorded with members of Muddy Waters Band led by the incomparable Otis Spann.
Great voice, great harmonica, great songs, great bands.
Baby!
