«The Original Sonny Boy» is the compilation by John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson, released in 2004 by Saga Jazz on CD.
It brings together recordings John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson made between 1937 and 1947, when he renewed blues harmonica. They show his evolution from rural blues to the urban Chicago sound, with a repertoire that incorporates the concerns of Black America, flirts with rhythm & blues, and gives the harmonica as prominent a role as the guitar.
Volume 7 of the Saga Blues collection, with one CD. The track selection is by Sebastian Danchin; Williamson died in 1948.
Will appeal to fans of classic blues, especially those wanting to learn about the roots of Chicago blues and the role of the harmonica in its formation.
