(August 2025) Episode 671 is SONNY BOY WILLIAMSON. This is John Lee Curtis Williamson, now known to historians as Sonny Boy Williamson I to distinguish from a contemporary who used the same name. He’s known for popularizing the harmonica (blues harp) as an essential blues instrument. His recording career in the 1930s and 40s was relatively short due to his murder at a young age. But it’s a solid collection of Chicago-style blues punctuated by his harmonica skills.
Favorite song: Good Morning Little School Girl
Compared to expectations: same
