I think both Sonny Boys are great and were very influential players, singers & composers.Both were great accompainist,too.Don't forget BIG JOE WILLIAMS' recordings from the 30's&40's. John Lee W. died very young and would have surely developed & modernized his style.Would have been interesting to hear John Lee recording for the CHESS or VEEJAY Labels in the 50's.
BTW it is me playing on the recording&I would be happy to have 50% of the class of any of the 2 Sonnyboys -LOL
Jnr Wells did a great tribute recording in 1966 for vanguard but on the east german amiga label,too (live recorded in the Friedrichstadt Palast in Berlin in 1966).
Did you know JIMMY REED recorded a tribute to Sonny Boy as well in 1966 after he left VeeJay? He even imatated Sonny Boy's vocal style on that one!!!
Do you remember King Biscuit Time? Sonny Boy Williamson had a show in West Helena, Arkansas. Sonny Boy was an amazing musician, he just happened to know all the members of The Band. He inspired them, Levon Helm was always a good friend of Sonny Boy Williamson. I remember reading up on him in This Wheel's on Fire, they went out for lunch and he got beat up because of his colour. Thanks for the post. Ryan
Sonny was awesome. One guy you forgot to mention that he played with and conspired with on "One Way Out"; Elmore James. He and Sonny played together a LOT. You post some great old stuff, bro. Thanks
Sonny Boy, probably my all time favourite harp player and you've done him right proud with this little number. You get plenty of suck going (like Sonny) and yet still keep the jauntiness of the melody going beautifully - Once again, wonderful work, bravo!!! Red x
Wow, great! And some german words at the end... Aber ich sehe, dass Sie ja auch deutsch schreiben! C'est parfait! So können wir uns ja auch in meiner Muttersprache unterhalten: ja, dieses Video ist wirklich cool; ich kenne mich nicht wirklich aus: wer spielt die Mundharmonika? Et la vidéo est très courte; on aimenait en voir encore quelques minutes de plus!
Ich bin Deutscher. Mit dem Englisch klappt es relativ gut. Mit Italienisch & Französisch leider nicht, obwohl ich ein großer Bewunderer vom italienischen & französischen Kino der 50er bis 70er bin. Leider werden diese Filme kaum mehr im TV gezeigt und imOriginal mit deutschen Untertiteln oder synchronisiert sind die Filme zu teuer.
Ich habe alles gespielt & den Trickfilm dazu auch noch gemacht - bei allen 3 Clips.
hast dir ganz schön mühe gemacht...find ich grundsätzlich respektabel...die mundharmonika klingt aber im vergleich zu williamson eher eindimensional, mach weiter so...
Danke, dass Du mir sagst, dass ich nicht Sonny Boy II bin, aber das wusste ich schon. Die Harp ist okay finde ich, solide, einfach (was nicht heißt,dass sie jeder so spielen kann), aber nicht eindimensional. Ich gebe dir sogar Recht, dass es nicht allzu viel mit SB zu tun hat, falls du das meintest.Das mit dem Original zu vergleichen finde ich persönlich etwas abwegig, zumal ich auch alle anderen Instrumente gespielt habe und es sich um einen Trickfilm mit Musik handelt.
hahaha, du hast natürlich vollkommen recht, sollte ja nicht als schlecht kritik gedacht sein, ich wäre froh nur halb so gut wie du die harmonika zu beherrschen, für mich ist einfach sonny boy williamson der beste harpist den es je gegeben hat...
Ja, aber als Sänger war er mindestens genauso gut und ebenso wie Hooker oder Nina Simone unverwechselbar und nicht zu kopieren. Übrigens spiele ich bei dem Stück abwechselnd 2 harps (1. + 2. Position - also in C & F-Dur), dadurch konnte ich nicht all zu viele Effekte machen-was ja typisch für SB II war- denn ich hatte die Hände gewissermaßen voll.
Thank you. Just watch my JIMMY REED vid. It is with 74 seconds relativ longer than the very short Sonny Boy clip with its duration of a meager 44 seconds.
The idea that stands behind these clips is that they should make more appetite to listen to the originals. So if you want to hear right now more of Sonny Boy or JIMMY REED or any other Bluesman or -woman from that era my mission was a success.
Bye
I will upload tomorrow my JOHN LEE HOOKER tribute (about 70 seconds long)
call me outta my mind but that sonny boy animation totally reminds me of the very first "mortal kombat" videogame I used to play back in the days: "Rayden wins - flawless victory"...haha
Ich kenne mich nicht in Videospiele aus, aber wenn Du es sagst, wird es wohl eher ein altes Spiel sein. So zackig bewegen sich die Figuren schon lange nicht mehr (nach meinem sehr bescheidenen Kenntnisstand), hahaha!
Thank you very much! But I think the blues died with people like jIMMY REED, Sonny Boy, Muddy Waters and will completely vanish with the deaths of people like BB and BUDDY GUY. That's life! It makes no sense trying to keep something dead alive! My wish is that people remember the greats from the past and do not forget who started it all!
thank you again for your visit. In the 1st october week I will upload another of my tributes.
blues will never really die- its just morphed into all the dif genres - hip-hop, rock, metal, r&b- it all has roots in the blues- though all those are great blues players- when they are all dead their influence will live on
Thank you but it is actually only 43 seconds long. My JIMMY REED tribute is 74 seconds. If you like my SONNY BOY II -video then it might be a good idea to check out my other JIMMY REED clip,too.
Thank you. I would like to play with you although i play harmonica not quite often and consider myself rather a german songwriter, bassist, guitarplayer. I watched your vid and I enjoyed it
Hey!, Gut, dass ich mich auf Ihren Videos äußern kann?, Schau, ich glaube, Sie müssen noch viel zu lernen, nicht ganz beherrscht die Mundharmonika Ich denke, du solltest mehr Klassen und Studium schwer zu spielen ist ein wenig besser werden. Ich hoffe, dass ich nicht durch konstruktive Kritik beleidigt. Eine Umarmung und verzeiht mein Deutsch ist, dass ich ein Online-Übersetzer benutze
Thank you for your comment. Harmonica is not my first instrument. I played every instrument on that recording & did the animation,too. I have not enough time to concentrate on harmonica alone. I am no virtuoso and I don't want to be. I prefer rather the raw blues to the more polished. I am not even a bluesmusician. I am surprised how good the online-translation works because I did understand everything you told me. I hope you understand english because translation the other way around isn't well
sehr gut!! That is very cool. Sonny Boy was on the radio in Mississippi and listed to by among others Levon Helm of the Band and they got to know him later on. I like the feel of you movie, I have spent time in the South and you get the vibe right. Have you seen "Mystery Train" by Jim Jarmusch, great film. Make more these are very cool!!!
Thank you. I am glad you liked it. At the end of September I will upload another clip with another legend from MISSISSIPPI. But that happens by accident. The fourth clip is featuring even another bluesman from that state ( I am trying out some music for it). I never saw the film MYSTERY TRAIN but I know the song - Best versions are imo by ELVIS (No.1) & the original by JNR. PARKER (No.2). SONNY BOY had so much charisma (like JIMMY REED or ELVIS)! That makes it easier creating a cartoon!!!
He was on records from other artists,too. Some very famous like TAMPA RED in 1953 and others who are somewhat obscure like BOBO JENKINS who did IMO his best recordings with SONNY BOY. I am not an expert on SONNY BOY'S record labels and only know his earlier recordings are on the TRUMPET label but I think I like his Chess recordings best.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my channel and little films
Grüße von Mississippi, der Geburtsort vom Blues. Dies ist ein sehr netter Tribut, den Sie Sonny Jungen ergeben haben. Nette Animation auch. Ich wünsche nur, dass das Lied war länger. ha ha Wird Sie mehr von diesen Tributen bald ich hoffe machen? 5***** Haben einen großen Tag,
Danke schön. My tributes are only appetizers for the original artists - hahaha! Sonny Boy and Jimmy Reed (btw did you watch my other Cartoon?) did record many songs and SONNY BOY even has almost one hour of filmed live performances (JIMMY REED only about 8 minutes) to his credit.
Nice vid and nice harp. In the first band I joined (1966) one of the first songs we learned was Junior Wells' Tribute to SBW. I didn't really know who SBW was at the time, but it didn't take long to find out. Many of the blues greats have played in our area (R.I. USA) at one time or another, especially at the Newport Jazz and Folk Festivals, going back to the 1950's, but I don't believe SBW ever played there. Again, thanks for the link.
The tribute to SBW was actually the first time I listened to Jnr. Wells. It was on a VANGUARD recording "Golden hour of Blues" great compilation to start with - had everybody on it from Broonzy to Hooker, Hopkins, Muddy & Homesick James to Otis Spann, Buddy Guy and James Cotton. Thanks for your kind comments
I think I never had any visitors from Guatemala - so I am sending you a very special and warm welcome to Guatemala from Berlin,Germany. Have a great week!
Thank you very much and I am glad you liked it,bye. I send you a friend invitation so that I do not forget you to send the message of my new upload in September,
Thank you! Sonny boy was a true master and it is a great gift that he left us - who never had the chance to see him perform live - some more filmed concerts than JIMMY REED.
You forgot to mention The Yardbirds! Sonny Boy II made an album in England with The Yardies. I love this stuff & another guy I really love is Slim Harpo who did some songs that became classics (Shake Your Hips, Got Love If You Want It, I'm A King Bee, etc..). I really like these cartoons (maybe not the right term), thanks for posting them, I hope you do some more!
Thank you, for your comment. All the mentioned musicians are great - even if I think Drifting Slim is not as good as the others but that is no disgrace - very few are! I saw Cotton live in 1985 or 86 and enjoyed it very much. He was able to sing back then when his throat was better (no cancer). My fav. Drifting Slim's recordings are from the mid 60's and with a small band - I think he was not good at doing a 1-man-band (JESSE FULLER; JOE HILL LOIS were more enjoyable)
Let me know where you can get those recordings by Drifting Slim with the band, because there's only one CD exclusively his that I know of and it doesn't have his best recordings by far. His style and quality varies greatly and his recording are rare, I think he is by far one of the best and definitely one of the most underrated harmonica players....
I don't know the exact name of the cd but it has some solo songs of him and some with a band of unknown musicians (they are named but i never heard of them). I think it was originally released in 1966. But his one-man band attempts are almost chaotic and they made up 40% of the songs.
SONNY BOY II, JIMMY REED and LOUIS ARMSTRONG had a warmth in their voice who made them and their music attractive even to pepole who did not understand one word of english. In such a case music was the language,
Yes, Sonny boy was great. Like JIMMY REED or Louis Armstrong he had a certain warmth in his voice that made him and his music attractive even to people who did not understand one word of english.
I think blues as an artform died with people like JIMMY REED, the SONNY BOYS, the HOOKERS, the KINGS and lesser knowns etc.. I know some people are still alive but within 25-30 years nobody of the original blues people will be on that earth anymore. But that is life! We are lucky to have the music & some performances on film and we have our memories - even if they are often of "second hand" nature.
thank you for your comment - strangely your comment was declared as spam. I have some problems with youtube lately - especially on my channel site and now this. I had the comment in my mail box but it did not appear on the video site?! Have a nice weekend
Excellent, have you ever heard of Cyril Davies and his all Stars, the very first British blues harpist. He played on most of the very early R & B records of the sixties but I believe he died young. Look him up, I think you would like his music. Regards, Inish.
Yes, I heard of him and I have a compilation on a double LP called british "blues anthology" with the allstars featuring several frontmen like Davies, Clapton, Korner & Beck.
I bought it almost 30 years ago because of him His name was always mentioned but I only heard a very short sketch of his playing in radio. He played Little Walter's SOME DAY. But I can't remember it anymore. I must admid I prefer american original blues or STONES, ANIMALS etc..
awesome, can listen the whole day man!

USA) at one time or another, especially at the Newport Jazz and Folk Festivals, going back to the 1950's, but I don't believe SBW ever played there. Again, thanks for the link.

The tribute to SBW was actually the first time I listened to Jnr. Wells. It was on a VANGUARD recording "Golden hour of Blues" great compilation to start with - had everybody on it from Broonzy to Hooker, Hopkins, Muddy & Homesick James to Otis Spann, Buddy Guy and James Cotton. Thanks for your kind comments

Thank you! Sonny boy was a true master and it is a great gift that he left us - who never had the chance to see him perform live - some more filmed concerts than JIMMY REED.

You forgot to mention The Yardbirds! Sonny Boy II made an album in England with The Yardies. I love this stuff & another guy I really love is Slim Harpo who did some songs that became classics (Shake Your Hips, Got Love If You Want It, I'm A King Bee, etc..). I really like these cartoons (maybe not the right term), thanks for posting them, I hope you do some more!
VIVALAMUERTETUA 2 years ago
Well, cartoon is the right word!
Indirectly I mentioned the Yardbirds when I mentioned Clapton who was a member of the band in 1963.
Jimmy Reed was the role model for SLIM HARPO - not only the music but even playing harp on a rack.
Proably I will some other blues cartoons,
thank you and bye
2009framat 2 years ago
I actually recommend Sonny Boy Williamson 1, Little Walter, Elmon Mickle (Model T Slim, Drifting Slim) and James Cotton a lot more...
metyuewb 2 years ago
Thank you, for your comment. All the mentioned musicians are great - even if I think Drifting Slim is not as good as the others but that is no disgrace - very few are! I saw Cotton live in 1985 or 86 and enjoyed it very much. He was able to sing back then when his throat was better (no cancer). My fav. Drifting Slim's recordings are from the mid 60's and with a small band - I think he was not good at doing a 1-man-band (JESSE FULLER; JOE HILL LOIS were more enjoyable)
bye&hope we meet again
2009framat 2 years ago
Let me know where you can get those recordings by Drifting Slim with the band, because there's only one CD exclusively his that I know of and it doesn't have his best recordings by far. His style and quality varies greatly and his recording are rare, I think he is by far one of the best and definitely one of the most underrated harmonica players....
metyuewb 2 years ago
I don't know the exact name of the cd but it has some solo songs of him and some with a band of unknown musicians (they are named but i never heard of them). I think it was originally released in 1966. But his one-man band attempts are almost chaotic and they made up 40% of the songs.
Nice to meet a Drifting Slim Fan,

SONNY BOY II, JIMMY REED and LOUIS ARMSTRONG had a warmth in their voice who made them and their music attractive even to pepole who did not understand one word of english. In such a case music was the language,

Thank you for your nice coment.
I think blues as an artform died with people like JIMMY REED, the SONNY BOYS, the HOOKERS, the KINGS and lesser knowns etc.. I know some people are still alive but within 25-30 years nobody of the original blues people will be on that earth anymore. But that is life! We are lucky to have the music & some performances on film and we have our memories - even if they are often of "second hand" nature.

Excellent, have you ever heard of Cyril Davies and his all Stars, the very first British blues harpist. He played on most of the very early R & B records of the sixties but I believe he died young. Look him up, I think you would like his music. Regards, Inish.
inisk 2 years ago
Yes, I heard of him and I have a compilation on a double LP called british "blues anthology" with the allstars featuring several frontmen like Davies, Clapton, Korner & Beck.
I bought it almost 30 years ago because of him His name was always mentioned but I only heard a very short sketch of his playing in radio. He played Little Walter's SOME DAY. But I can't remember it anymore. I must admid I prefer american original blues or STONES, ANIMALS etc..
