Sonny Boy Williamson • The Blues Of Sonny Boy Williamson

 

Sonny Boy Williamson represented a powerful and direct link to the source of the blues. His wildly expressive harmonica playing echoed the hollers, shouts, howls and whispers of the slaves who so often had little more than their own voices with which to express their responses to being in captivity. The welcome reissue of this album offers a rich example of Sonny Boy’s range of musical emotion, from rage through tenderness to sometimes unexpected humour.

Sonny Boy Williamson representaba un vínculo poderoso y directo con el origen del blues. Su expresiva forma de tocar la armónica se hacía eco de los gritos, chillidos, aullidos y susurros de los esclavos, que a menudo no tenían más que sus propias voces para expresar sus reacciones ante el cautiverio. La reedición de este álbum ofrece un rico ejemplo de la gama de emociones musicales de Sonny Boy, desde la rabia, pasando por la ternura, hasta un humor a veces inesperado.
