“Down and Out Blues” Sonny Boy Willamson sings (1959) Checker Records Cover by Don Bronstein (No that’s not Rice Miller – aka Sonny Boy – on the cover!)
Sonny’s debut album, he was 60 years old when this was released by Chess Records. “Down and Out Blues” is full of songs that have become blues staples, including “Don’t Start Me to Talkin’,” “Fattening Frogs for Snakes and “Your Funeral and My Trial.” Chess Records’ crack regulars, spearheaded by Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Jimmy Rogers, Fred Below, Otis Spann and Robert Jr. Lockwood provide suitably gritty support to Sonny Boy’s blues harp, helping to make this 12-song, 34 minute set some of the best electric blues ever recorded.

Bobby “Blue” Bland “Ain’t Nothing You Can Do” Duke Records (1964) Cover art by Rene
When you got a heartache, there ain’t nothing you can do
When you meet a friend, you smile because you’re glad
When a friend deceives you, it makes you feel so bad
When you lose your loved one, it make you feel so blue
And then you got a heartache, and there ain’t nothing you can do
