Been listening to Sonny a whole lot recently - its great to find stuff like this
though I don't think you made very good use of archive material though - for one thing there's photos and footage of most of SBs contemporaries , and perhaps first hand accounts from his brother if you had the opportunity

THANKS, this was a teaching...

Wow,Thanks for posting.I'm just getting hip to the Blues.Love it.Damn,so there is more greats than the Legandary Little Walter.Sorry,He's All i knew.Wich was First.Country & western or the blues.?Both tell beautiful stories.

Great to see that there's some John Lee - Sonny Boy Williamson on youtube. There's a lot of Rice Miller SBW which is great too - but we must not forget the original Sonny Boy. Tough life these bluesmen lived. Their resiliency never ceases to amaze me. Thank you!

Surprisngly the film does not mention Sonny Boy's profound influence on Little Walter,nor the influence Hammie Nixon had on his own playing.
Sonny Boy did lay the groundwork for the Chicago harp,but was not as the film claims the first to make the blues harp a lead instrument.Noah Lewis would have a much greater claim to that distinction.
Great film nonetheless.Any harp player who hasn't absorbed Sonny Boy#1 don't have good roots!

There are mentions of Lewis and Nixon, though admittedly brief, in Part 1.

Are there 2 Sonny Boys?

Yes, Aleck "Rice" Miller, who was also known as Willie Williamson or Willie Miller and was a great harp player himself, is generally known as Sonny Boy Williamson II. He is the one well-known through the King Biscuit Flour Hour.
