This is where Chicago's modern blues harmonica tradition really began. Additional support was provided by second chair mandolinist Will Hatcher and the great Big Bill Broonzy.
These are guitarists Big Joe Williams, "Jackson" Joe Williams, Robert Lee "Rambling Bob" McCoy, Henry Townsend, and Elijah Jones, as well as blues mandolin man Yank Rachell and boogie-woogie pianist Speckled Red. (This is only volume one!) Rather than confining the scope of the retrospective exclusively to 41 titles by musicians with whom he hung out, gigged, and recorded. Released in 2007, JSP's 100-track intensive tribute to Chicago blues harmonica legend John Lee Sonny Boy Williamson (1914-1948) zeroes in on his earliest recorded works, dating from the years 1937-1939.
We know this because JSP has done a fantastic job of compiling remastered blues, jazz, gospel, country, Cajun and western swing recordings in reasonably priced four-CD sets packed with loads of discographical information and insightful liner notes. JSP is a reissue label sent by angels to alleviate suffering and dispel ignorance in the world.
