Re: [Harp-L] discovered amazing cd

Hey Garry,

Hands down my favourite SBW2.

You don't read my blog assiduously enough though, because here's what I had 
to say about it :

"When it comes to picking a seminal blues harmonica album, of course, 
there's rather a lot to choose from. My choice would be "Keep it to 
Ourselves", which was recorded in Denmark in 1963, two years before Sonny 
Boy passed away. It is remarkably low key, with a very light instrumentation 
(guitar played by Matt Murphy and/or piano by Memphis Slim), it's obviously 
relaxed, and simply gorgeous. To me, this album was a lesson in the power of 
simplicity. Sonny Boy's playing is straightforward and yet unequalled in 
terms of power, feeling and tone. If you're one of these people who think 
that Kim Wilson does Sonny Boy well, go listen to this record. No one does 
Sonny Boy like Sonny Boy does. "

No slight intended towards Kim, of course.
