A great performance. Just makes you sit back and think. Nearly ALL modern blues lyrics singers, can't actually write this type of old song lyrics from a first hand experience. The old school originals have just about all moved on, leaving only 2nd hand experiences to be sung about. Respect to all forms of the blues!
"His harmonica spoke a language of our time: tortured, wailing, crying, and strangely beautiful -- its effect was powerfully human.He seemed to mold the notes through the long fingers of his hands, which were laid palm top palm as if he were to take a long drink of water from them. He would utter the words of his blues from the side of his mouth, slipping the harp between his lips as he finished a vocal phrase so that the melody was sustained on the instrument." Paul Oliver
Yes it is Stephen, thanks for pointing that out, I have played Trust My Baby but not in first position, will have to try it, SBW still one of the best harp players ever, so understated, and he never overplayed, wonderful !
wrong sonny is the best so much passion soul you can tell he's not lying i believe every word sonny says.. also i love the way he can play accapellas on harmonica with no music because i can't do that damn im speechless if there really is a heaven i hope to go were sonny went and meat up with him and have a heavinly blues revival with all the blues legends..
At (on the second counter) 2:52 Sonny Boy Williamson began a lesson in the blues many dont appreciate or even acknowledge. His ease was a product of his mastery. You could learn from him.
Después de oír esto.....hay algo más "blues"........., aun no lo he visto. Jamás vi algo parecido con un simple instrumento y una voz, sin perder un ápice el sentido armónico. Grande el Sr. Sonny Boy.
es el sentimiento negro que los musicos de esta generacion volcaron hacia este instrumento mas representativo del blues .un grande entre los grandes del blues.
adelante, sin miedo a nada ni a nadie, nuestros muertos merecen que actuemos como hicieron ellos antes, para dejarnos la nación y el pueblo elejido por Dios, para salvar a la HUMANIDAD del MAL en estado puro, que actúa impúnemente y sin oposición ninguna
The blues is beautiful, but it was created out of pain. So it's not to be played with like some who do, without suffering of some kind. We know to experience, or live it , makes for true blues. It only becomes a bad or good cover, when people try to copy it. But not genuine from a tormented soul who can tell the story straight from the heart!
This is an important point and thank you for stating it. It can be considered that such applies to those who deeply experience and feel the blues by those who gratefully create the music of it for them and us.
In awe. This video is a tour de force example of Sonny boy's tone, bend technique and raw power. The solo sounded close to "trust my baby," so i am assuming he used it alot. I hope there will be more old footage taken in Europe found.
"The hands are bony, gnarled and beautiful. He is a gripping entertainer -swaying, leaning over backwards, tapping out the beat and blowing fantastic shrill notes, wails, moans and deep growling "harp" sounds." Chris Morphet, The Guardian Tuesday January 19,1965
i dont but . Its letting go of your bad vibes fucking with your soul. Not sad in the least. Ask any REAL bluesman, that is if you would recognize one if he slapped you.
Sonny Boy Williamson is my favorite Blues musician but I had never seen and heard him this early and primal . . . awesome and spiritual. Thank You for putting this out into the world. I hope that more humans will experience this sight, sound, and soul.
It's a common bait trick. The content of the video is paired with a logically distant idea that fits the parameters of a particular interest (they know you have) so you click.
@1986dovic Cheers man for the 'chilling down' about burning people and all... to be honest I hadn't 'tainted' any good memory of a picnic at the park because of the comments here (and probably it's unlikely I'll ever do it based on virtual comments as a matter of fact) ...precisely because of such rumors Gosh man! Let's FOCUS! Sonny boy - harp playing - BEAUTY!!! :P hehe, nothing personal 1985dovic ...things seems to be running out of control (yeah, started with my comment about the image)
sbw the 2nd!!! the goat,little boy blue,alex rice miller.king biscuit flower hour,was about to be in the band with levon and the boys but died.personality in music goes deep and he was a player ass character. my favorite harp player of that time period for sure

I've thought that. Thank you for stating it, and so well.
Amazing... this is who Howlin' Wolf learned from, and how my dad plays. Sure glad I found this video. Blues at it's best, play'em Sonny Boy.
Made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. A true legend.
The epitome of cool.Another legend lost forever
This man is the reason we have to call Jimi Hendrix "the Sonny Boy Williamson of the guitar".... Awesome, unnatural sounds!
Wooow !
This is Sonny Boy Williamson 2 ain't it? Inspired by the original Sonny Boy Williamson
@@replacementkillah i believe Sonny Boy Williamson _the second_ is what he's called.
I’ve never heard anyone ever say that.
His real name is RIce Miller.
Unbeleivable!!! Inspirational...
Absolutely awesome! Too bad there are just a few Sonny Boy videos.
for anybody who wants to know what harp he's using its a G harp in 1st position
Thanks!
😊

Thank You for the enhancing description.
Living this song Rn.2021
Wow I started to tear up listening to this
this so intense the words that go along with with the harmonica playing so primal yet so profound that it tugs at your heart and touches your soul.
Impresionante!!

Yes it is Stephen, thanks for pointing that out, I have played Trust My Baby but not in first position, will have to try it, SBW still one of the best harp players ever, so understated, and he never overplayed, wonderful !
the greatest harp player of his time
of ours too
He's amazing, for sure, but Little Walter is the G.O.A.T. of the harp.
John Lee Williamson, Deford Bailey, Big Walter, George Smith. But there all the greatest of all time
wrong sonny is the best so much passion soul you can tell he's not lying i believe every word sonny says.. also i love the way he can play accapellas on harmonica with no music because i can't do that damn im speechless if there really is a heaven i hope to go were sonny went and meat up with him and have a heavinly blues revival with all the blues legends..

The real stuff right here. Don’t need to go anywhere else. You found the blues right here.

Cacao, It's a G-harp played in first position. He does the same on 'Trust My Baby'.
second position
The real real thing
One of the greatest blues performers
fantastic...I do not have this in my collection. this is the first SBW I have seen on youtube that I do not have.
Brilliance.
Freind ，der Blues ist nichts，der Blues ist der Blues.

Awesome harp work.

It doesn't get much more bare than that, does it? The way he could hold a groove, with nothing, was amazing.
He's got a cool disposition...
THE BEST BLUES SINGER &MUSICIAN IN THE WORLD ¡¡¡
Incredible, unique style!
Rice could be the grandfather of all blues harp players...
Grandioso SONNY
BLUES en su mas pura y bella expresion. Lo demas son solo "comentarios". Siempre Sonny Boy Williamson.
Гений блюзовой гармоники.
No kidding this is rare. Love his Straight Harp style.
Yes... Super Show 🇧🇷 ❤
Thanks!
quelle souffrance ..elle raisonne dans la voix
the Skip James of the harmonica blues . . .
Accurate
Sonny Boys, a lenda...
That is truly the sound of human sadness
i dont but . Its letting go of your bad vibes fucking with your soul. Not sad in the least. Ask any REAL bluesman, that is if you would recognize one if he slapped you.
Wow...

Kao prelijepi san !!!

Великий блюзмен!Классный певец!

great,great,GREEEEEAT
this is the holy gail, the deep blues, thanks for posting this, is there more?
Sonny Boy Williamson is my favorite Blues musician but I had never seen and heard him this early and primal . . . awesome and spiritual. Thank You for putting this out into the world. I hope that more humans will experience this sight, sound, and soul.
i think i saw him live in the 60s but not sure as there were a lot of blues singers on the bill, the gig was in Manchester
Master
It shows real history any one that dose not learn from it is bound to repeat it
Anyone else not expecting the picture of a charred corpse at the beginning? Turned a buzz into anxiety.
yeah wtf. not what I was looking for
It's a common bait trick. The content of the video is paired with a logically distant idea that fits the parameters of a particular interest (they know you have) so you click.
Not a bait trick, just a segment of a German TV documentary about the history of the blues and the shameful era that it sprang from.
super!!!
PQP SENSACIONAL ESSE VIDEO!
He is the way
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍
Слушаю, а ассоциациии с нашим художником Зверевым. Вечно талантлив, вечно пьян. :-)
i wish, i had that blues

He was the best performer.
Just unreal. All I get is silence when I snap my fingers.
