Sonny Boy Williamson II • Don't Send Me No Flowers

 

Of the many obscure projects Jimmy Page was associated with prior to Led Zeppelin, one of the most notable was a studio session he recorded live alongside noted keyboardist Brian Auger, and famed bluesman, Sonny Boy Williamson.
The session took place at IBC Studios on January 28, 1965.
Those present at the session included, Jimmy Page on guitar, Brian Auger on organ, Ricky Brown on bass Mickey Waller on drums along with Joe Harriot & Alan Skidmore on saxophone, and Sonny Boy taking up vocal and harmonica.
While doing press for the documentary film "It Might Get Loud" Jimmy Page also recalled the session with Sonny Boy Williamson: "The one that was done live with The Yardbirds
hadn’t come out. It was our manager who called me. I was a studio musician, at the time, and Sonny Boy was living in his flat. Somebody told me once that they went to the house and they heard Sonny Boy plucking a live chicken. I don’t know how true that was. That didn’t happen when I was there. Sonny Boy and myself rehearsed these numbers in the studio, manager’s flat and, by the time we got into the studio a couple days later, Sonny Boy had forgotten all of the arrangements of what we were going to do. It was cool. Good music comes out of that."

De los muchos proyectos oscuros con los que Jimmy Page estuvo asociado antes de Led Zeppelin, uno de los más notables fue una sesión de estudio que grabó en directo junto al célebre teclista Brian Auger y el famoso bluesman Sonny Boy Williamson.
La sesión tuvo lugar en los estudios IBC el 28 de enero de 1965.
En la sesión participaron Jimmy Page a la guitarra, Brian Auger al órgano, Ricky Brown al bajo, Mickey Waller a la batería, Joe Harriot y Alan Skidmore al saxofón, y Sonny Boy a la voz y la armónica.
Mientras hacía prensa para el documental "It Might Get Loud", Jimmy Page también recordó la sesión con Sonny Boy Williamson: "La que se hizo en directo con The Yardbirds
no había salido. Fue nuestro manager quien me llamó. Yo era músico de estudio, por aquel entonces, y Sonny Boy vivía en su piso. Alguien me dijo una vez que fueron a la casa y escucharon a Sonny Boy desplumando un pollo vivo. No sé hasta qué punto era cierto. Eso no ocurrió cuando yo estaba allí. Sonny Boy y yo ensayamos estos números en el estudio, y, cuando llegamos al estudio un par de días después, Sonny Boy había olvidado todos los arreglos de lo que íbamos a hacer. Fue genial. De ahí sale buena música".
