Sonny Boy Williamson (Rice Miller) is acknowledged as one of the most
charismatic and influential blues musicians, with considerable prowess on the
harmonica and highly creative song writing skills. One listen to Sonny Boy and
you’ll know no one else was quite the same. 

This album is a must have for any Sonny Boy Williamson (Rice Miller) fan. 

Every blues harmonica player since Sonny Boy has struggled to master his style.
You can hear his licks played by James Cotton (whom Sonny Boy raised and
tutored), Junior Wells, Howling Wolf, Junior Parker and literally hundreds of
other harp players. But one listen to Sonny Boy and you’ll know no one
else was quite the same. It’s hard to think of a single song he recorded
not worth listening to again and again. 

In this outstanding recording quality you can hear the exchange from Lung to
Breath to Harmonica, plus Sonny Boy’s distinctive gravelly voice. 

Millers music was as entertaining and fun as any that emanated from Chicago
during the citys blues heyday. His canon is among the most consistently
high-quality of any bluesmans, and this recording is an important addition to
his legacy. Its an exquisitely crafted, often hilarious peek into a side he
seldom revealed. And between the astonishing demonstrations of harmonica
virtuosity and the mind-boggling lyrical convolutions, the genius of Rice Miller
soars at unfettered full throttle. (David Whitens, Chicago Reader)
