About this album
This Is My Story is a strong overview of Sonny Boy Williamson’s Chess-era blues, showing why he remained one of the most distinctive harmonica players in the genre. Issued in 1972, the compilation draws on the hard-driving, Chicago-based recordings that made his reputation, where Sonny Boy’s sharp phrasing and wry, controlled vocals turned simple blues forms into something memorably personal. With classics such as Don’t Start Me To Talkin’, Checkin’ Up On My Baby and Fattening Frogs for Snakes, it captures the blend of humour, authority and invention that helped define post-war electric blues and influenced generations of players.
