More Info:

Prior to his legendary tours with The Yardbirds and The Animals, even before the Checker singles that helped set off the British blues craze of the early '60s, Mississippi blues singer and harmonica player Sonny Boy Williamson (aka Alex Miller) cut his teeth recording these classic sides for the Jackson, Mississippi-based Trumpet Records. Originally released as 78-RPM records, these recordings are some of the rawest and most powerful pieces in Williamson's discography.
