John Lee Curtis “Sonny Boy” Williamson was one of the greatest blues harp players in the history of the genre, and certainly the very best of the prewar period. Time and again in his career, he reached pinnacles of performance which defined the music of the day and set the stage for the rock and roll artists who would, decades later, reinterpret the blues for a new generation of listeners.He also performed what can only be described as an addict anthem, the legendary “Sloppy Drunk Blues.” Click on the link below, press play and give it a listen. And then maybe go out and get sloppy drunk yourself.
