Description
Sonny Boy Williamson I (1914-48 ) - Complete Recorded Works Vol. 1-5
Recorded : 1937-1947 Released : 1991 Label : Document Format : Flac Vol 1:  A comprehensive collection of the highly influential blues pioneer's 25 earliest works, recorded in 1937 and 1938. (Note: This is the Sonny Boy Williamson who was murdered in 1948, not the one who toured England with the Yardbirds in 1963). Several of these songs, of course, have become blues standards, particularly "Good Morning School Girl," which has been covered countless times (the Yardbirds, Ten Years After, and others), and there's a surprising variety here; "Got the Bottle Up and Gone," for example, has an obvious jug band feel to it that's thoroughly at odds with the haunted sound of "Decoration Blues," or the proto-swamp "Up the Country Blues" (a song that clearly influenced Slim Harpo). 01 - Good Morning, School Girl 02 - Blue bird Blues 03 – Jackson Blues 04 - Got the Bottle Up and Gone 05 - Sugar Mama Blues 06 - Skinny Woman Sonny Boy Williamson – vocals, harmonica Joe Williams - guitar Robert Lee McCoy – guitar , vocal (on track 4) Recorded Aurora Illinois 4 May 1937 07 - Up the Country Blues 08 - Worried Me Blues 09 - Black Gal Blues 10 - Collector Man Blues 11 - Frigidaire Blues 12 - Suzanna Blues 13 - Early in The Morning 14 - Project Highway Sonny Boy Williamson – vocals, harmonica William Davis – piano Robert Lee McCoy – guitar (probably) Henry Townsend – guitar (probably) Recorded Aurora Illinois 11 November4 May 1937 15 - My Little Cornelius 16 - Decoration Blues 17 - You Can Lead Me 18 - Moonshine 19 - Miss Louisa Blues 20 - Sunny Land 21 - I`m Tired Trucking My Blues Away 22 - Down South 23 - Beauty Parlor 24 - Until My Love Come Down Sonny Boy Williamson – vocals, harmonica Yank Rachel – mandolin (except track 21 – guitar) Joe Williams – guitar Elijah Jones - guitar Recorded Aurora Illinois 17 June 1938 25 - Honey Bee Blues Sonny Boy Williamson – vocals, harmonica William Davis – piano “Jackson” Joe Williams – guitar Recorded Aurora Illinois 13 March 1938Vol. 2:  Document's Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 2 (1938-1939) picks up where the first volume left off, reissuing 24 tracks from the 13-month period of June 1938 to July 1939. Unfortunately, there weren't as many classic performances during this era, leaving this the odd one out from the many volumes in this set. Serious blues fans will still find much of interest here, including versions of "Susie-Q" and "You've Been Foolin' Round Town," plus a second stab at his classic "Sugar Mama Blues." 01 - My Baby I`ve Been Your Slave 02 - Whiskey Headed Blues 03 - Lord, Oh Lord Blues 04 - You Give an Account 05 - Shannon Street blues 06 - You`ve Been Foolin` Round Town 07 - Deep Down in The Ground Sonny Boy Williamson – vocals, harmonica Walter Davis – piano (track 1) Yank Rachel – mandolin (except track 7) “Jackson” Joe Williams – guitar Recorded Aurora Illinois 17 June 1938 08 - Number Five Blues 09 - Christmas Morning Blues 10 - Susie-Q 11 - Blue Bird Blues - Part 2 12 - Little Girl Blues 13 - Low Down Ways 14 - Goodbye Red 15 - The Right Kind of Life 16 - Insurance Man Blues 17 - Rainy Day Blues Sonny Boy Williamson – vocals, harmonica Speckled Red - piano Willie Hatcher – mandolin (probably) Robert Lee McCoy – guitar (probably) Recorded Aurora Illinois 17 December 1938 18 - Bad Luck blues 19 - My Little Baby 20 - Doggin` My Love Around 21 - Little Low Woman Blues 22 - Good For Nothing Blues 23 - Sugar Mama Blues No. 2 24 - Good Gravy Sonny Boy Williamson – vocals, harmonica Walter Davis – piano (except track 24) Big Bill Broonzy - guitar Recorded Chicago 21July 1939 Vol. 3:  The third volume in Document's impressive five-part series of Sonny Boy Williamson collections includes a raft of great sides recorded between July 1939 and April 1941. Beginning with Williamson's classic "T.B. Blues," Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 3 (1939-1941) cycles through two dozen great performances, including "Tell Me, Baby," "My Little Machine," and "Jivin' the Blues," with accompaniment from a trio of strong sidemen: Big Bill Broonzy, Walter Davis, and Blind John Davis. Casual listeners may not find this as immediately interesting as a career-spanning compilation like Sugar Mama, but there's plenty of interest for nearly any level of fan. 01 - T. B. Blues 02 - Something Going on Wrong 03 - Good Gal Blues 04 - Joe Louis and John Henry Blues 05 - Thinking My Blues Away 06 - I`mNnot Pleasing You 07 - New Jail House Blues 08 - Life Time Blues 09 - Miss Ida Lee 10 - Tell Me, Baby 11 - Honey Bee Blues Sonny Boy Williamson – vocals, harmonica Walter Davis - piano Big Bill Broonzy – guitar Recorded Chicago 21 July 1939 12 - I Been Dealing With The Devil 13 - War Time Blues 14 - Train Fare Blues 15 - Decoration Day Blues No. 2 16 - New Early in The Morning 17 - Welfare Store Blues 18 - My Little Machine 19 - Jivin` the Blues Sonny Boy Williamson – vocals, harmonica Joshua Altheimer – piano Fred Williams – drums Recorded Chicago 17 May 1940 20 - Western Union Man 21 - Big Apple Blues 22 - Springtime Blues 23 - My Baby Made a Change 24 - Shotgun Blues 25 - Coal and Iceman Blues Sonny Boy Williamson – vocals, harmonica Blind John Davis - piano Big Bill Broonzy – guitar William Mitchell – bass (probably) Recorded Chicago 4 April 1941 Vol. 4:  A comprehensive collection of the pioneer bluesman's work during the World War II years, with the exception of the period of the infamous Musician's Union ban on recording. Some of the topical songs--"Win the War Blues" and "We Got to Win"--comment directly on then current events, but there also songs adapted from other blues singers. "Ground Hog," for example, is a variant of Tony Hollins' "Crawlin' King Snake," while "She Don't Love Me That Way" cribs from Sleepy John Estes. The overall sound, however, splits the difference between the earlier country blues of Sonny Boy Williamson's Bluebird Records period and the proto-Chicago blues to come. 01 - Drink On, Little Girl 02 - Mattie Mae Blues Sonny Boy Williamson – vocals, harmonica Blind John Davis - piano Big Bill Broonzy - guitar William Mitchell – bass (probably) Recorded Chicago 4 April 1941 03 - I`m Gonna Catch You Soon 04 - Million Years Blues 05 - Shady Grove Blues 06 - Sloppy Drunk Blues 07 - She Was A Dreamer 08 - You Got To Step Back Sonny Boy Williamson – vocals, harmonica Blind John Davis - piano Ransom Knowling – string bass Recorded Chicago 2 July 1941 09 - Ground Hog Blues 10 - Black Panther Blues 11 - Broken Heart Blues 12 - She Don`t Love Me That Way 13 - My Black Name 14 - I Have Got To Go Sonny Boy Williamson – vocals, harmonica Blind John Davis - piano Charlie McCoy – guitar Alfred Elkins – bass Washboard Sam - washboard (tracks 12,13 and 14 only) Recorded Chicago 11 December 1941 15 - Love Me, Baby 16 - What`s Gettin` Wrong With You? 17 - Blues That Made Me Drunk 18 - Come On Baby and Take a Walk Sonny Boy Williamson – vocals, harmonica Blind John Davis - piano Big Bill Broonzy- guitar Alfred Elkins - bass Recorded Chicago 30 July 1942 19 - Miss Stella Brown Blues 20 - Desperado Woman Blues 21 - Win the War Blues 22 - Check Up On My Baby Blues Sonny Boy Williamson – vocals, harmonica Blind John Davis - piano Ted Summitt – guitar Armand “Jump” Jackson - drums Recorded 14 December 1944 23 - G. M. & O. Blues 24 - We Got to Win 25 - Sonny Boy's Jump 26 - Elevator Woman Sonny Boy Williamson – vocals, harmonica Eddie Boyd – piano Bill Sid Cox – guitar Ransom Knowling – string bass Recorded Chicago 2 July 1945 Vol. 5:  Recorded between 1945 and 1947. Most of the tracks here include electric guitar (check out Willie Lacey's Charlie Christian licks on "Sugar Gal" and "Alcohol Blues") and drums. The overall sound is eerily prescient of Chicago blues (the great Willie Dixon is present on bass on several of the songs), the jump blues style of Louis Jordan ("Apple Tree Swing"), and rock & roll. 01 - Early in The Morning 02 - The Big Boat 03 - Stop Breaking Down 04 - You`re an Old Lady Sonny Boy Williamson – vocals, harmonica Big Maceo – piano Tampa Red – guitar Charles Saunders – drums Recorded : Chicago 19 0ctober 1945 05 - Sonny Boy`s Cold Chills 06 - Mean Old Highway 07 - Hoodoo Hoodoo 08 - Shake the Boogie Sonny Boy Williamson – vocals, harmonica Blind John Davis - piano Willie Lacey – guitar Ransom Knowling - string bass Recorded : Chicago 6 August 1946 09 - Mellow Chick Swing 10 - Polly Put Your Kettle On 11 - Lacey Belle 12 - Apple Tree Swing Sonny Boy Williamson – vocals, harmonica Blind John Davis - piano Big Bill Broonzy - guitar Willie Dixon – string bass Charles Saunders – drums Recorded : Chicago 28 March 1947 13 - Wonderful Time 14 - Sugar Gal 15 - Willow Tree Gal 16 - Alcohol Blues Sonny Boy Williamson – vocals, harmonica Eddie Boyd – piano Willie Lacey – guitar Ransom Knowling - string bass Judge Riley - drums Recorded : Chicago 19 September 1947 17 - Little Girl 18 - Blues About My Baby 19 - No Friend Blues 20 - I Love You for Myself 21 - Bring Another Half a Pint 22 - Southern Dream 23 - Rub A Dub 24 - Better Cut That Out Sonny Boy Williamson – vocals, harmonica Blind John Davis - piano Big Bill Broonzy - guitar Ransom Knowling - string bass Judge Riley - drums Recorded : Chicago 12 November 1947 Related Torrents
