Sonny Boy Williamson (I) - Throw a Boogie Woogie

Eight indispensable Bluebird sides dating from 1937-38 -- right at the very beginning of his reign as king of blues harpists -- that display precisely why Williamson was such a revered innovator (and continues to be even now). Highlights include his classic &"Good Morning School Girl" and "Sugar Mama Blues." He shares the disc with itinerant rambler Big Joe Williams, whose eight 1937-41 selections include six featuring Sonny Boy playing harp behind the nine-string guitarist. -Bill Dahl, All Music Guide
