The biography of Sonny Boy Williamson is something of an enigma, even to ardent blues fans. Indeed, he isn't even the "real" Williamson; a shrewd businessman simply gave singer-mouth harpist Aleck "Rice" Miller the name after the 1948 murder of popular blues artist John Lee Williamson. Still, Miller/Williamson's remarkable career literally bridged Robert Johnson and Eric Clapton, both his music and life embodying a free-wheeling, hard-living lifestyle that became something of a rock and blues cliché. After considerable local radio success in the Delta, Miller/Williamson ended up at Chicago's Chess Records in the mid-1950s, where all but one of these two dozen tracks originated in the early '60s. But by the time Chess originally issued the first of these ill-timed collections (belatedly compiled to cash in on a waning '60s folk boom), Williamson was six months dead. Listen and it's not hard to hear why a generation or two of blues-smitten rockers held him especially dear, be it the Allmans (the original "One Way Out," with longtime partner Robert Lockwood Jr. supplying the familiar guitar licks) or Zeppelin (a lugubrious, boogied-up take of Willie Dixon's "Bring It On Home"). Punctuated by harp blasts that could turn from sharply staccato to lyrically wrenching, Williamson's leathery voice muses over his being "Too Young to Die" or "Too Old to Think" with the self-deprecating indifference that became a trademark. Though these tracks are the cream of his last years, they're more boozy celebration than elegy. --Jerry McCulley

A very interesting collection of latter-day Chess sides.......2004-08-14

MCA/Chess' "The Essential Sonny Boy Williamson" remains the ultimate Rice Miller-compilation, with "His Best" in second.
But this twofer-CD, which brings together all 24 tracks from Miller's two "Real Folk Blues" albums, doesn't make a bad supplement. It does repeat eight songs from "His Best", but it also has 16 songs which can't be found on that collection. Conversely, if you have the more extensive "Essential" anthology, you'll find only eight songs here that you don't already have.

The overall standart of this material is high, with "The Real Folk Blues" being slightly stronger than its companion volume.
"Help Me", "Bring It On Home", "Nine Below Zero", "Down Child", the supremely tough "Checkin' Up On My Baby", and the punchy "One Way Out" are all among Rice Miller's best most familiar songs, and numbers like "Too Young To Die", "Decoration Day" and "My Younger Days" are equally excellent. Rice Miller was by far the best songwriter of all the Chess greats of the 50s and early 60s, an awesome lyricist whose highly personal songs express sentiments ranging from pure joy to the deepest, darkest despair. Willie Dixon's way with words was impressive, but Rice Miller is something else:

"When I first met the lil' girl / I didn' know what I was doin' /
Now we all tied up / And my life is ruined!
I'm scared o' that child / I'm scared o' that child /
I'm scared o' that child / I'm too young to die!"

She's a cute lil' girl / She got such a wonderful mug /
When she start to talk / Her voice but stone jug /
I'm scared o' that child...

We had a date and I couldn't make it / That's what made 'er mad /
Now I'm lookin' at two brown eyes / They turned greenish-gray /
So I'm scared o' that child...

I called my baby / And I told 'er I would be late /
'Time my baby opened the door I looked in the barrel of a .38 /
I'm scared o' that child..."

23 of these 24 songs are from the 60s, and they are significantly better than Miller's 60s recordings for Delmark, even if this collection doesn't quite maintain the magnificent level of quality of MCA/Chess's main Sonny Boy-compilations.
Among the best lesser-known songs are the funky, playful "Peach Tree", Willie Dixon's swinging "That's All I Want", and the slow "Got To Move" from Miller's first LP, "Down & Out Blues". "Stop Right Now", "The Goat", "Close To Me" and a couple of other great songs will be familiar to those who own "The Essential Sonny Boy Williamson", but not to those who "only" have "His Best". ("Sad To Be Alone", on the other hand, is on "His Best", but not on the "Essential" collection.)

Newcomers will be better off with "His Best", but this CD is a really fine addition to that compilation...the sound is very good, and the liner notes get a B+ as well.
4 1/4 stars. Definitely recommended.

Alec "Rice" Miller, a.k.a. "Sonny Boy Williamson," a musical innovator and stylist whose work has influenced several generations of bluesmen and rockers, rose to prominence in the late 1940s as star of radio's King Biscuit Show; his popularity was so great that a brand of flour was named after him. From 1956 on, Williamson recorded for Chess Records with a band that featured the brilliant guitarist Robert Lockwood Jr., stepson of blues legend Robert Johnson. His fame spread to Europe, where he was celebrated by youthful blues and rock fans, and where he recorded an acclaimed live album with the Yardbirds. Collected here are classic cuts recorded in Chicago in the early 1960s, among them the scintillating "One Way Out," "Too Young to Die," the R&B delight "Peach Tree," "Checkin' Up On My Baby," "Bring It On Home," and "Down Child," all of which showcase Sonny Boy's peerless harp, smooth vocals, and devilish wit. --Alan Greenberg

Customer Reviews:

One great cut not on his "Best of" collections.......2005-01-03

Most of this is on the collections "My Best" and "Essential," but one killer cut is not: Got to Move. If you like Sonny Boy solos that start slow and then slay you with one intense phrase, "Got to Move" delivers.

****1/2. Many great latter-day Chess sides.......2004-08-16

"The Real Folk Blues" series, which saw releases featuring Sonny Boy, Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, and Muddy Waters, was designed to attract young white blues fans to the Chess labels "electric" artists. There is nothing too folkish about these early-60s sides, and they are certainly no more "country" than Aleck "Rice" Miller's other Chess waxings (all of which were band-backed and electric), and while the MCA/Chess-compilations "His Best" and "The Essential Sonny Boy Williamson" remain the best career overviews, this one has a lot to offer as well, and a few of these songs don't show up on either "His Best" or the "Essential" anthology.

"The Real Folk Blues" opens with one of Rice Miller's (Sonny Boy Williamson's) best, toughest songs, the powerful, up-tempo "One Way Out", followed by the equally magnificent "Too Young To Die".
Not all of these twelve songs maintain the incredible level of quality found on MCA's main Sonny Boy-compilations, but even second-rate Rice Miller blows most other artists' best efforts out of the water, and his way with words was unmatched. The ageing harpist is totally believable when he delivers the line "When I first met you, little girl / I didn't know what I was doin' / Now we're all tied up / and my life is ruined" in his raspy voice.

Other highlights include "Checkin' Up On My Baby", one of Rice Miller's finest songs, Willie Dixon's "Bring It On Home" (later nicked by Led Zeppelin), the irresistable, funky "Peach Tree", and the morose "Too Old To Think".

This album is usually only available on a twofer-CD paired with its sister volume, "More Real Folk Blues", but since that one is (almost) as great, you won't hear any complaints from me.
Sonny Boy could always be counted on to deliver a slice of intelligent, tightly arranged, supremely confident electric blues of the highest order.

top notch country blues with an urban twist.......2000-09-19

When Sonny Boy Williamson strutted into Chess studios, Chicago, and the rest of the blues appreciating public were taken by storm.

THis is a fine album by Sonny Boy and his Chicago rhythm section. "Too Young To Die" is a fearful song about a violent woman, "Bring It On Home" is a Willie Dixon chart topper, And "One Way Out" is a furious tune, written by Elmore James and Sonny Boy about a failed one night stand. "Down Child" is a Chicago-land classic.

Excellent album. All but a few tracks are included on Chess' "The Essential Sonny Boy Williamson."

Essential piece of blues history.......2000-08-30

The "Real Folk" series of releases are excellent introductions to various blues artists, and I own many of them. However, this release of Sonny Boy Williamson's best is the cream of the crop. Sonny Boy (aka. The Goat, Feets, etc.) is blues harp master, and he has a great rough, yet smooth, blues voice. It's no wonder that Willie Dixon and other blues greats gravitated to play with Sonny Boy, he was one of the best. This disc is an essential piece of blues history. The tracks "One Way Out" and "Bring It On Home" are worth the price of admission alone.

If you love blues harmonica, you need to own this collection of Sonny Boy Williamson's work. It's amazing stuff.

A nice collection of standards and rare tracks.......2004-08-16

MCA/Chess's "His Best" and the double-disc "Essential Sonny Boy Williamson" remain the best way to get acquainted with perhaps the greatest of the Chess artists from the label's heyday in the 50s and early 60s.

But this companion volume to "The Real Folk Blues" has a lot going for it as well. Most of these songs can be found on the wonderful "Essential" anthology, and a few of them turn op on the single-disc "His Best" as well, but there are a number of rarities here, too, and while the overall quality of this material doesn't quite match those two primary Chess compilations, second-rate Sonny Boy is still better than most artists ever get.
And there is quite a lot of first-rate material here as well, although "More Real Folk Blues" is a little bit weaker than its companion volume. But songs like "Nine Below Zero", "Help Me" (which is great in spite of that stupid organ), "She's My Baby", and "My Younger Days" rank among Rice Miller's best, and his gritty amplified harmonica playing is unsurpassed, as is his way with words.

This album has been reissued on a twofer-CD with its companion volume, remastered and featuring new liner notes (as well as the old ones). Once you have the Chess essentials (and the early Trumpet stuff), go get this fine (and completely "un-folkish") collection as well.
