\u00a4  Sonny Boy Williamson  [1912-1965]<\/h4>\n

\"S_B_W\"<\/a>Why Alex \u2018Rice\u2019 Miller took the name Sonny Boy Williamson is a mystery. John Lee \u2018Sonny Boy\u2019 Williamson<\/strong> had already made a name for himself in the early 40s as a harp master and blues idol, only to be murdered in 1948. Miller adopted the name soon after, even claiming that the original man was a hoax. Upon his arrival in Chicago, he set about recording a body of work that remains unequalled in blues history for its synthesis of musical and lyrical mastery.<\/p>\n

\u00abYeah, we know these sounds. These sounds belong to one man.<\/span>
One man from Mississippi, USA.  One man known as the wizard of the harp.<\/span>
One man known as the menace. And his name is Sonny Boy Williamson<\/a><\/strong>.\u00bb<\/span><\/address>\n
