Our Take
Sonny Boy Williamson and Willie Love aka the dynamic duo Clownin' With The World have certainly cooked up quite the musical feast with their latest album. This record is like a sonic rollercoaster, taking listeners on a wild and unpredictable ride through the realms of blues and jazz. From the moment the needle drops on the opening track, you can tell that you're in for something special. Williamson's soulful harmonica playing is a pure delight, weaving in and out of Love's infectious piano melodies with effortless grace. The chemistry between these two musicians is undeniable, resulting in a collection of tunes that are as tight as a pair of skinny jeans. Tracks like "Blues Train" and "Funky Town" showcase the duo's ability to groove like nobody's business, while slower numbers like "Heartache Blues" and "Lonely Nights" tug at the heartstrings in all the right ways. The lyrics are raw and honest, reflecting the ups and downs of life in a way that is both relatable and profound.

About the artist

Sonny Boy Williamson/Willie Love

Sonny Boy Williamson, born Aleck Ford, was a legendary blues harmonica player and singer. With his distinctive voice and raw, emotive style, Williamson became one of the most influential figures in the history of the blues. Williamson's career began in the early 1930s, and he quickly gained a reputation for his dynamic performances and innovative harmonica playing. His collaboration with guitarist Robert Johnson produced some of the genre's most iconic recordings, including "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" and "Sugar Mama Blues." Known for his sharp wit and irreverent sense of humour, Williamson was a captivating live performer who could hold an audience in the palm of his hand. His charismatic stage presence and magnetic personality made him a favourite among fans and fellow musicians alike. Despite his success, Williamson's personal life was marked by hardship and tragedy. He struggled with alcoholism and health problems throughout his career, and his early death in 1948 robbed the world of one of its most treasured musical talents. Sonny Boy Williamson's legacy lives on in his recordings, which continue to inspire and influence generations of musicians. His pioneering contributions to the blues genre have cemented his reputation as a true icon of American music. Sonny Boy Williamson may be gone, but his spirit and music will never be forgotten.
