Sonny Boy Williamson sad to be lonesome

[harpo59]

cool tone and great control.....expressive

[firecrackerpackman]

Looks like Sonny Boy is giving you the finger!

[37castro]

El que quiera aprender a tocar harmonica primero tiene que escuchar al gran sony boys, gracias sony!!!!

[joseluisfernandez58]

@37castro Totalmente de acuerdo, no paro de aprenderle sonidos.

[Tirbuson]

Blow Sonny Boy, blow!

[firecrackerpackman]

Fantastic! 

[cliff1979b]

Everyone has their opinions, but I know my favorite and MOST inspirational harp player for me is Mr Sonny Boy Williamson. I am not good but I feel good when I play blues...ESPECIALLY Sonny Boy.

[yunesbb]

1 dislike ??!?!?!?!

who's this ignorant bastard ??

[TheWick53]

Sonny Boy was my first blues crush... I would have never learned anything about any of the other greats were it not for him. What an incredible genre and what an incredible representative of that genre.

[startingnov903]

@TheWick53 me too!! I found an old cassette of Real Folk Blues and fell absolutely in love with him... wore the poor thing out... so I got a new one (and then switched to CD's... the love affair ain't over)

[JhudsonHNY]

@ pastore0506 : Well thats a toss up.. Id side with you on that if you'd a say SBWII & Little Walter To.. those are the best. No one gets better.

[hotlipbrown]

the guitar and the piano are out of tune ! - Harps are usually in tune !

[barbequebobmaglinte]

Blow, boy, blow!

[fessormojo]

That would be M. T Matt "Guitar? Murphy on guitar behind him.

[Serge392]

Avec quelle marque d'harmonica joue sa musique Sonny ??????

[friedharper]

Could this be with Willie Dixon on bass, Memphis Slim on piano, Matt Murphy on guitar ?

[cyrustheguitarman]

like the jimi hendrix of the harp

[wrybred]

wow that guitarist, on the first solo - as sonny boy sez to 'im while he's riffin. Lo'd ha' Mussy!

[estderoma]

what harp is he playing in the photo?

[BigM444]

@estderoma it`s called a chromatic

[estderoma]

@BigM444 NO THATS NOT, what are u talkin about, thats a diatonic, he also got other 6 harmonicas, 1 for every note.

[emithband]

@BigM444 ...it looks like it could be one of those 12 hole "Echo Vamper"'s...they are larger than a "Marine Band"(but still tuned diatonic),and thus can look like chromatic in size...

[demianhot69]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooow estesi es u señoron

[fireicer]

no not sped up at all that is just the normal effect of recording medium back then. still just amazing i hope we never loose this amazing connection of real life and music in today day.

[SaucyBa11a31]

def sped up

[7142150]

Not sped up at all, playing an F harp, key of C.

[SaucyBa11a31]

my bad guess you would know better than me - his voice just sounds higher and faster than from what ive been listening to of his music - but thanks I still love it!

[mrgoodvibrations]

consider the crude technology and transfers, a tad fast 1 rpm, maybe.

[EdVidz]

this performance sounds speeded up? he's singing higher

[rabidbird123]

Man, just diggin' this on lonesome, Friday nite!

[JonMartMusic]

cant get enough of this song, love how the last verse fill is louder than the rest of song, tooooo sick

[pastore0506]

The greatest blues harp player ever!

[ArtofDreaming1]

@pastore0506 Thats my sentiment also .When I first heard him I thought to myself did he realize he was the greatest harp player of all time as long as this earth exists Even though kim wilson plays a mean trust my baby.

[ArtofDreaming1]

@pastore0506

[Horus2468]

[Zapi294]

[roussos87]

AMAZIMG singing... amazing.. i never liked his voice, but this song rocks my soul dudes...this wah thing he does with his hands sends me to space.....

[TheBrowndawg]
