REVIEW “`King Biscuit Time' contains his first, landmark recordings, the songs that forever established him as a remarkable, stand out performer. Personal favorites are `Nine Below Zero,' `Eyesight to the Blind,' `Cool, Cool Blues' and `Pontiac Blues,' but there's nothing here that's second rate.A 15-minute radio program from 1965, done right before his death, also has historic value. Finally, the disc has a definitive version of `Dust My Broom,' whose key riff has probably recycled through urban blues as much as the opening section of Chuck Berry's licks on `Maybelline' have filtered through the rock domain.” (Ron Wynn — Living Blues) |

“...the very best (Sonny Boy Williamson) ever recorded. Hard driving rural blues, ferocious harmonica and vocals.”
(David Harrison — Folk Roots) |
