Digital Booklet
|
When ‘Willie’ Rice Miller, aka Sonny Boy Williamson, made these intimate, casual recordings in 1963, he was already (probably) 66 years old. Most of his long career was over; only two years later he would die in his little apartment in Helena, Arkansas. He was recognized as a giant throughout the blues world as a harmonica player, vocalist, songwriter, prolific recording artist, live performer and wildly colourful personality.
Starting in 1951 and continuing into the ‘60s, Sonny Boy made some of the most influential blues records of all time; Help Me, Eyesight To the Blind, Nine Below Zero, Mighty Long Time, One Way Out, Don’t Start Me Talking, Keep It To Yourself, Bring It On Home, and dozens more.
This pristine high-resolution transfer of Williamson's beloved works comes courtesy of 2xHD's patented Fusion Mastering System, integrating the finest analog, with state-of-the-art digital technology (back to the future technology).
