to get a real good taste of Sonny Boy, get the record
"Keep It To Ourselves." Sonny Boy w/Matt Murphy &
Memphis Slim in various combinations, with a few
Sonny Boy solo. pretty loose and beautiful.
It's a real work of art. imo.
i'd like to second this recommendation. in fact, i'd third it
and fourth it if i could. this recording is a real treasure. i'd
never heard sonny boy play acoustic until i stumbled across
this last year. it's a very laid back, fun recording. sounds
like he's sitting in your kitchen, hangin' with his friends and
playing harp.
priceless.
ps. deepdiscountcd.com has it for $14.97, a steal.

can hear him cursing out
someone in the studio at the start of a cut'.
i think it was on "Quiet Village" - " You can call it
yo' mamma if you wanna! Ya gotta get it while its hot,
or it aint worth a damn." probably to producer Phill
Chess. SBW should be in the philosophy books.

Ummmm.... hate to nitpick, but that title is actually "Little
Village." ("Quiet Village" is a 1959 Martin Denny orchestral
composition -- Exotica/Bachelor Pad music and interesting in it's own
right.)
Ry Cooder, John Hiatt, Nick Lowe & Jim Keltner named their early-'90s
band "Little Village" after the Sonny Boy number.
