Checker records 1957 – Single 883
notes:
Few artists have left a mark on blues music as profound as
Sonny Boy Williamson II. During the golden era of Chicago blues,
his recordings for Checker Records helped define the sound of
electric blues and influenced generations of musicians around the world.
Released in 1957, Checker Records Single 883 stands as another important
chapter in Williamson's remarkable recording career. By the late 1950s,
he had become one of the most recognizable harmonica players and
blues vocalists in America, blending traditional
Delta blues roots with the emerging urban Chicago sound.
