{"product_id":"boy-sonny-williamson-the-original-sonny-boy-0602498207741","title":"The Original Sonny Boy","description":"Recorded 1937-1947 Often confused with Rice Miller -- an eccentric postwar harmonica-player whose identity he'd \"borrowed\", John Lee Williamson was the father of modern harmonica blues. After leaving his native Tennessee at a very early age, Sonny Boy followed the natural road taken by Black emigrants and found himself in Chicago, where the freshness of his repertoire made him one of the Bluebird label's stars. Until his tragic death in 1948, his language grew more sophisticated as the size of his group increased, and his repertoire embraced the preoccupations of Black urban America; at the same time, his music flirted with rhythm \u0026amp; blues while his harmonica grew equal to his guitar in the world of Chicago blues. This volume should rehabilitate the genius of a first-rate creator too-often neglected by blues-lovers everywhere.
