Down and Out Blues

Sonny Boy Williamson's debut album, originally released in 1959, combined many of his early singles into one complete package. Though he may not be as much of a household name as Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, or John Lee Hooker, Williamson is every bit an equal to his Chicago contemporaries. Featuring backing, in fact, from Waters, Otis Spann, and Willie Dixon, this is a truly essential piece of Chicago blues reissued on Rumble.Side A: A1 Don't Start Me To Talkin' A2 I Don't Know A3 All My Love In Vain A4 The Key (To Your Door) A5 Keep It To Yourself A6 Dissatisfied Side B: B1 Fattening Frogs For Snakes B2 Wake Up Baby B3 Your Funeral And My Trial B4 "99" B5 Cross My Heart B6 Let Me Explain
