 Excellent album March 22, 2004

If you've never heard Sonny Boy Williamson before I recommend this album. If your particularly interested in blues harmonica there aren't many better than Sonny Boy Williamson and you could do a lot worse than have this in your collection.
Timeless blues at their best. April 16, 2010

This is good music. We are not all the same, thank goodness. I personally don't like jazz. And I have tried to like it over and over, I just don't get it. But blues I love it and here is some of the best. There are plenty more out there but this one rates among the top.
magnificent blues July 6, 2008

The music on this compilation is magnificent, I didn't give it 5 stars only because it lacks the listing of musicians on each track (some of which are true blues legends themselves).
In this period he recorded with Otis Spann, Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters and others, so it would be nice to have the correct info on that.
Otherwise, this is classical stuff; both vocally and instrumentally...
BTW, if my ears don't decieve me, the performer of "Like Wolf" (track 18) is Howlin' Wolf , although the authorship of the song is attributed to Williamson.

like many "best of" compilations this one starts superbly but after you've heard 3 or 4 tracks you get the feeling you've heard them before..the very simple instrumentation becomes limiting and restrictive..and while the songs are classics you can see why other peoples versions are more entertaining..the album is well worth buying if only for the fantastic opening track
 Absolutely dire..... November 19, 2009

I saw him in the 60's backed by The Animals. He was dreadful. This is worse.
