John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson - Pontiac Blues download song

Those first Tumpet Records are still my favorite Sonny Boy sides - now on Arhoolie CD!!

We goin drive out on the highway. Cut the bright lights off, We goin turn the radio on,  And get the music from up to north!

King Biscuit Time Nothin like the Blues on a soggy rainy day.

This is brilliant wauw love it thank you so much.

Anyone dislikes this must be dead.  I think it's a drunk hitting the wrong button. 

My straight 8 Pontiac...Always wondered if he really sings about his car...

I love all of the old blues guys, and, as a harp player myself, especially the great harp players - both Sonny Boys, both Walters, James Cotton and others. But I come back to Sonny Boy II most often to really feel the blues. His laid back, behind the beat style is just so good - both singing and playing!

Blues is America's heritage. And all mankind.

Love how you can hear him snapping his fingers. If only more people playing blues would use the old method of recording. Set up in one room, hit the 'Record' button and go to work. The ambiance on his Trumpet sides is brilliant!

Known and acknowledged as the best harp player "before or since" but Sonny Boy Williamson II - his vocal style is also one of the very best to my ears.  His works stands up over the decades and just gets better the more times I hear him.
