Hi Have always loved John Lee and recently been going over some of 
his stuff. I am after some info on the recording he did with Big Joe 
Williams towards the end of his life. I have a song from The Story of 
the Blues (P. Oliver) Wild Cow Moan with Ransom Knowling bass, 
Clifton James Drums. I really would like to get my hands on this 
recording session. Also any of the
later stuff that John Lee did. Anyone give me some information on 
this and any releases with the stuff on.

Cheers and thanks

Hi Tom,
The session you refer to took place on July 22, 1947 for Columbia 
Records. Four titles were recorded that day. All four were reissued 
in 1969 on the LP, "Big Joe Williams and Sonny Boy Williamson" (Blues 
Classics 21.)

As to CD reissues, check out the 4-CD box set "Sonny Boy Williamson - 
The Later Years" on JSP -- it's got this stuff plus everything you'd 
ever want to hear on JLW's later years. 104 tracks.

cheers,
