As recommended by Soulman.
1959 release from the second of two SBWs from the Blues world.
An excellent Blues album with Williamson's classy harp playing all over it. The backing band includes such Blues luminaries as Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, & Otis Spann.
Includes a second disc filled with his '50s singles for the Trumpet label.
AllMusic 4+/5 stars.
This THE place to start with SB II and thanks to Tiggi for the mention. Available cheaply online, the comments mirror what Tiggi said. His harp and then-hot Chicago guys was a marriage made in Blues heaven. Somebody else thought so too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5GVQotwv9o And now:
