Down and Out Blues/in Memorium

Search: Love In Vain
by: Sonny Boy Williamson

Release Date July 14, 2008
Aleck "Rice" Miller's first LP, "Down And Out Blues", was reissued on CD in 1987, but is now out of print. Fortunately you can get it on this twofer-CD, coupled with the 1965 album "In Memorium", originally issued shortly after Miller's death.

There is plenty of remastered Sonny Boy available on the various MCA/Chess compilations, and they may just have a slight edge over this CD as far as fidelity is concerned, but if you want Sonny Boy's first album this is a good way to get it, especially if you don't already own "The Real Folk Blues" which duplictates most of the "In Memorium" tracks.

"Down And Out Blues" features some of Miller's very best (and best-known) songs, including "Don't Start Me To Talkin'", "I Don't Know", ... Read More:

Down and Out Blues [VINYL]

Search: Love In Vain
by: Sonny Boy Williamson II

Release Date October 17, 1990
If you don't want to dig deeper into your pockets for Chess Records' double-disc "The Essential Sonny Boy Williamson", this could be what you're looking for.

"Down And Out Blues", along with Howlin' Wolf's two first LPs and Muddy Waters Newport-album, are probably the best LPs the classic Chicago blues label Chess had to offer. This album, which was first issued in 1959, is filled to the point of overflowing with some of the best blues songs ever recorded, courtesy of Aleck 'Rice' Miller's nasal, world-weary vocals and tremendous songwriting skills.
Miller (Sonny Boy Williamson II) is backed by Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Jimmy Rogers, Fred Below, Luther Tucker and Otis Spann in a virtual blues summit, and his rhythmic harp blasts ... Read More:
