HELP ME * SONNY BOY WILLIAMSON * PYE INTERNATIONAL 25191 * GB
This is Sonny Boy Williamson # 2, born Alex Rice Miller, Mississippi c1901, although he is older than Sonny Boy Williamson #1 (John Lee Williamson, born Jackson, Tennessee 1912) he became known by that name after Sonny Boy the first's early death in 1948. Sonny Boy the second died in 1965. There is also a third Sonny Boy Williamson who recorded for the Ram label in 1960. The lyrics of this song, his own, are interesting in the light of what became known decades latter as the 'new man'.
