SONNY BOY WILLIAMSON & THE YARDBIRDS: Self titled

£150.00

A meeting point between two worlds that thankfully doesn’t try to smooth out the edges too much.

Recorded live at the Craw-Daddy Club, you get the raw, grounded blues presence of Williamson up front, with the young band behind him still figuring out exactly how to frame it. That tension is what makes it interesting - it’s far less polished than later interpretations, but arguably more immediate for it.

Worth hearing as a snapshot of a moment of raw energy, rather than a finished statement.
