Rumble Records present Sonny Boy Williamson's debut album Down And Out Blues, originally released in 1959. Down And Out Blues combined many of his early singles into one complete package. Though he may not be as much of a household name as Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, or John Lee Hooker, Williamson is every bit an equal to his Chicago contemporaries. Featuring backing, in fact, from Waters, Otis Spann, and Willie Dixon, this is a truly essential piece of Chicago blues reissued here on Rumble Records.
