John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson - Springtime Blues free for downloading

Not that familiar with John Lee Williamson - Sonny Boy No 1 - but this does sound uncannily like Rice Miller. So obviously No 1 was a big influence on No 2. Why he chose to name himself Sonny Boy is a mystery - & created a lot of confusion - but both were superlative singers & harp players & they left a legacy of fine blues for us to enjoy...

I have them both and I just can't tell . Now the singing sounds like John Lee. The wrong pictures don't help.

Wrong picture. Sound of Sony Boy 1, and this picture is of Sony Boy 2. And obviosly, different styles of harmonica playing

Inspired by him but Sonny Boy II also talked a big game. I hear he used to lie about his birthdate so he could say he was the first Sonny Boy and John Lee is the second one. Also the second Sonny Boy taught Howlin' Wolf how to play the harp. It's really interesting how connected these Blues Men were.

Hah too bad that's a picture of Sonny Boy WIlliamson II there, but even record companies seem to confuse them on purpose...what's the difference between 1 and 2?

I'm not all that keen on being the cleverest of all the nerds here, but having read all this, I was really astonished and just can't leave it uncorrected: the photo is alright. All that's wrong is the headline. We're actually listening to an early recording of Rice Miller, the second Sonny Boy.

Somebody doesn't know the difference between Rice Miller and John Williamson { Sonny Boy number one]  This is Rice Miller.

what key is this harmonica??

Yeh, I just learned there were two, each with different birth names. I'm trying to find the first one, and i'm still confused.

This is amazing thank you so much i love it.

cool song, harping but WRONG PHOTO, the one you show was Rice Miller = Sonny Boy W. II this song is played by John Lee Williamson. = Sonny Boy W. I

HE ALWAYS BE ALIVE IN OUR HEARTS , WE LOVE YOU SONNY FOREVER
