1	King Biscuit Time (1989) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson II add to wishlist King Biscuit Time features Sonny Boy's early Trumpet sides from 1951. The original "Eyesight to the Blind," "Nine Below Zero" and "Mighty Long Time" are Sonny Boy at his very best. Added bonuses include Williamson backing Elmore James on his original recording of "Dust My Broom" and a live KFFA broadcast from 1965. ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from $13.76! new only from $13.76!
2	Cool Cool Blues: The Classic Sides 1951-1954 (2006) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson [II] add to wishlist Rice Miller (or Alec or Aleck Miller -- everything about this blues great is somewhat of a mystery) probably didn't need to take the name of the original Sonny Boy Williamson (John Lee Williamson) to get noticed, since in many ways he was the better musician, but Miller seemed to revel in confusion, at least when it came to biographical facts, so ... see all copies from $25.71! new only from $25.71!
3	The Best of Sonny Boy Williamson [Fontana] (2006) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson [II] add to wishlist see all copies from $7.99! new only from $7.99!
4	Down and Out Blues/In Memorium (2004) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson [II] add to wishlist In 2004, the Beat Goes On label reissued two legendary Sonny Boy Williamson (aka Rice Miller) albums, Down and Out Blues and In Memorium, originally released on Chess Records in 1959 and 1965, respectively. Both albums combined deliver 23 raucous cuts of Chicago blues, including the standards "Don't Start Me to Talkin'," "One Way Out," "Bring It ... see all copies from $18.37! new only from $18.37!
5	In Europe with Clapton, Dixon and Spann (1995) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson II add to wishlist More highlights from Sonny Boy Williamson's overseas travels, in a wide variety of settings -- during the 1963 and 1964 American Folk Blues Festivals with old friends like Willie Dixon, Sunnyland Slim, Hubert Sumlin and Matt Murphy behind him, and for nine tracks, with the Yardbirds in support. The latter combination works pretty well -- Clapton ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $11.51!
6	Goin' in Your Direction (1994) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson II add to wishlist Alligator continues its Trumpet reissue series with an excellent 15-cut anthology covering early Rice Miller (Sonny Boy Williamson II) material, some of it also including guitarist Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup and guitarist Bobo "Slim" Thomas. Miller was honing the uncanny technique that made him a harmonica legend, playing long overtones, spitting ... see all copies from $9.50! new only from $9.50!
7	More Real Folk Blues (1967) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson II add to wishlist More good early-'60s Chess Recordings from Sonny Boy Williamson. "Help Me," "Bye Bye Bird," and "Nine Below Zero" have been covered by numerous blues and rock acts. Most of the songs, however, show up on the Essential best-of collection. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.00! new only from $50.98!
8	Down and Out Blues (1959) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson II add to wishlist Retaining photographer Don Bronstein's cover shot of a disheveled bum lying on the sidewalk (some former Chess artist, perhaps?) Sonny Boy Williamson's original 1959 album made it to digital reissue but has now been supplanted by MCA's exhaustive The Essential Sonny Boy Williamson. Still, for a budget price, there are a dozen unforgettable tracks: ... see all copies from $26.99!

10	Don't Send Me No Flowers (1966) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson II add to wishlist see all copies from $67.69!
11	1951-1953 (2004) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson [II] add to wishlist If legend grows out of mystery, then Rice Miller could be its poster boy, since even his name is an uncertainty (he was most likely born as Alec or Alex Miller), and given that he assumed the name of another harmonica player, thus becoming the second Sonny Boy Williamson, he seemed to approach life like it was a hall of mirrors. What keeps him ... see all copies from $18.98! new only from $18.98!
12	Keep It to Ourselves (1990) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson II add to wishlist An intimate 1963 collection of Sonny Boy Williamson in solo and duet (with guitarist Matt Murphy) formats; on three tracks, pianist Memphis Slim hops aboard. This delightful addendum to Williamson's electric output of the same era was cut in Denmark and first issued on Storyville. ~ Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.45!

14	One Way Out (1968) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson II add to wishlist Although lacking the hilarious slice-of-life studio banter that makes its companion album Bummer Road so priceless, this is certainly a collection of terrific Chicago blues tracks as only Sonny Boy Williamson could do it. Like the Tennessee harmonica player with whom he shared a stage name, this Sonny Boy's music comes from the country blues ... see all copies from $37.78!
