• LIMITED EDITION CLASSIC LPs

• 180 gram vinyl - AUDIOPHILE PRESSING

• INCLUDES 4 BONUS TRACKS

This essential LP release includes Sonny Boy’s complete debut long play, the fabulous "Down and Out Blues", originally released in 1959 on the Chess Records subsidiary label Checker. It’s one of Williamson’s finest albums, accompanied by such Chicago blues legends as guitarists Muddy Waters, Jimmy Rogers, Luther Tucker and Robert Lockwood, Jr., bassist Willie Dixon, pianist Otis Spann and drummer Fred Below. All of them helped Sonny Boy to lay down the foundation that later inspired Bob Dylan to develop what he called that “wild mercury sound” in the mid-1960s.

In addition to the original masterpiece, this limited collector’s edition includes 4 bonus tracks, consisting of hard to find sides taped between 1958 and 1961: “Your Imagination,” “Nine Below Zero,” “Lonesome Cabin,” and “Stop Right Now.” All of these great recordings forever changed the sound and style of the blues harmonica, making this an indispensable set for any blues devotee.
