About this album
Down And Out Blues is a landmark Chicago blues album that captures Sonny Boy Williamson at his sharpest. Issued in 1959, it gathers some of his most influential late-1950s sides and shows why he became one of the defining harmonica voices in the genre. Backed by taut electric blues arrangements, Williamson’s singing and harmonica playing are full of wit, menace and authority, with songs such as Don’t Start Me To Talkin’ and Keep It To Yourself helping set the template for modern blues records. Its mix of lyrical bite and instrumental force made it a touchstone for later blues and rock artists.
