Sonny Boy Williamson - Bring It On Home

[@gwolf8707]

I started a blues program on my college radio station back in the 70s even though I knew virtually nothing about blues. I played this song as my intro every week. After a few months the phone started lighting up with requests as soon as it came on and I could hear glasses tinkling in the background. A local restaurant played the show as it's Friday entertainment. I found a more qualified replacement who later produced his own syndicated blues program. The radio station converted to NPR. On a trip through the area one night I tuned in and after more than 45 years they still play blues on Friday nights. Not a bad legacy for a college freshman even if I am the only one who knows about it.

[@danhenderson3135]

Just one of the BEST BLUES ARTISTS of all time!!!

You damn right my friend!! 🙏🏻 King of the Blues.🤴🏿

[@duanmcinnes]

When I was discovering blues and was listening to everything I could get my hands on, Sonny boy was the one that made me sit back and shut my eyes to listen.

[@445ndohenydr.4]

Sonny Boy is still the king.

[@davidboivin7996]

This is how Led Zeppelin became such a great band. Amazing forefathers like Sonny Boy!!

[@riccosuave1975]

Wow! These blues singers/players had such an influence in the Brit rock movement. Guys should deserve the credits far more than what money the rockers got. Great music to appreciate.

[@greyskydawg5284]

I believe Led Zeppelin was sued by a Willie Dixon relative for claiming to have written four of Dixon's songs. I believe the money was used to create a museum.

[@maggienorris7833]

The Brits made serious efforts to give credit to the originators and to get royalty money for their heirs.

[@lynnbrownutahmusician3138]

Let's pull it back even further. Bring It On Home and the other 12 bar blues tunes covered by Led Zeppelin were performed by other artists, but all composed by one man, a resident composer for Chess Records - Willie Dixon (1915-1992). Two albums - Willie Dixon "I Am The Blues" and his Chess box set are fundamental.

[@kevinforrestal5407]

I need more Sonny Boy Williamson in my life.

Lillte walter could blow a harp but sonny boy could sing, write and play.He did them all together for a complete package of soulfull blues. So so much soul. He is the nonstop kingof the blues harp blues

[@Gwynbuck]

Little Walter could do all that! Apart from 'My Babe' which was written by the great Willie Dixon, Walter wrote all the rest. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4PNeZ57ipZmg7s

[@Gwynbuck]

I stand corrected. Walter didn't wite 'Key to the Highway', that was Big Bill Broonzy.. He didn't write 'I Have Had My Fun' AKA 'Goin' Down Slow' either. That was written by Jimmy Ogden

[@johanverschure5168]

Little Walter Jacobs is one of the best singers the blues ever had. SBW 2 and the original Sonny Boy Williamson are to me the greatest harp players.

[@georgecarrillo6114]

Happy Birthday Day 🎉 Mr Sonny Boy Williamson your music lives on 👊

[@tinusvandermerwe6433]

Something magical about this. Raw blues kind of unplugged...

[@vipermad358]

All of the instruments on this recording are electronically amplified. The guitar is electric. How is this "unplugged"?

[@homesickclifford1966]

Back in 60's I got this on album my brother fighting in Vietnam sent me with these songs /Animals. I had battery powered record player, was working in Frisco at scrap metal yard. I had P.U. with camper old style 53 Dodge parked in front of work at freight train yard. Sit drink a pint n listenen' ta Sonnyboy as trains rolled on by, thinking bout good times once have had

Thanks for sharing your story! What a thoughtful gift to send you! That would've been cool with the trains coming and going... Hello from Canada.

[@arthurfrazier1059]

The good thing about living in the south is everybody else in the US did not have the chance to hear really good blues music with the exception of Chi Town.

[@righteyeartistry156]

So glad I was able to go down to the delta area and jam with some of those folks when I was much younger. One in particular I remember was a piano player named 'boogaloo jones'

[@belasgirl6]

Watch Robbie Robertson, who just passed, talk about Sonny. Sad but great story.

[@shovelhead56]

Yes, that is a touching story Robbie tells and a sad testament to racism here in america

[@GraphiteBlimp27]

Honestly the Led Zeppelin version should be called Bring it On Home/Bring it On Home, or split into two songs. It's pretty damn cool what they did, having the blues cover intro that just explodes into rock and roll. It shows the roots and where the music was going in the future. These roots are damn fine, I'm glad Zeppelin exposed me to the blues, this Sonny Boy Williamson song is great!

[@joebigspliff]

led zeppelin did nothing but rip off these blues artists as they never gave them credit if you read any zep album it states all songs written and composed by led zeppelin so sad such a great band but had to steal all or mostly all of there songs from these poor blues players

[@improvised240]

Led Zeppelin respected these musicians and payed homage to their work by and kept it alive through their music.

[@GraphiteBlimp27]

joebigspliff I'm not trying to be a dick but if you're trying to make a point in an argument don't use hyperbole. "all or mostly all there songs" really?

[@roy_for_real2674]

the version by Q65 is a lot better than Led Zeppelin

[@richardmbowman]

True...Page & Plant borrowed, lifted, stole, covered....used...many of old blues tunes. Some they gave due credit for...some they didn't...some they gave partial credit to the writer/creator. But one other thing is true... they knew what to do with each tune...and they DID the damn thing. Well.

Sonny Boy Williamson captures my attention, appreciation and holds a special place in the blues part of my heart. There is a hauntingly endearing quality to his voice and harp performance which comes across as genuine ......a man who did not rise to confrontation, conducting himself in a dignified manner....RESPECT as a musician and a human being 🎶

Rice Miller honed his skills on the streets of Helena Ar.. look it up.. King Biscuit Radio Show ..

[@YogsenForfoth]

@@steventyler386 Yeah, he was born in the Delta, but this is electric Chicago blues. Sonny Boy Williamson II (Rice Miller) moved to Chicago in 1955, and started playing there and in Detroit.

[@YogsenForfoth]

@@steventyler386 Delta blues is acoustic.

[@chadfelter3003]

Well I can hear why anyone would want to cover this groove, it swings so damn hard it slaps back the beat. As far as the origins of the blues…if you listen to the earliest blues recordings you hear a lot of sloppiness in the rhythm and structure. This recording has more refinement of style and tone, a true gem. A great piece of Americana to emulate. I know I do...

[@zeeemgee1750]

Dixon composed many great songs. Sonny Boy Williamson II performed one of the greatest blues/rock songs ever with this song!!!

[@lectrichobo6478]

Sonny's magnificent original song, so brilliant a musical piece of work, so much so, that Led Zeppelin, came upon it later, and then were so compelled to create, rev it up, and drive that song like a car they had just boosted. One man's 'plagarism' is another man's 'homage.' That's Rock & Roll.

If you need it transposed into a different key to make it easier to sing, i can help you with that as well. Gotta Love the Classics. ;-)
