This album features the earliest recordings of one of the most popular blues harmonica players of all time. Sonny Boy was hugely popular in Britain and Europe where he lived and worked for many years and where he was a TV, Radio, stage and club regular. These, his earliest commercial recordings were made for the Trumpet label in the early 1950”s and feature the A and B sides of every release he made for the label before joining Chess Records in Chicago. British blues groups with whom he would eventually perform in the 1960”s recorded many of these tunes.
