Little Sonny (real name Aaron Willis) is an Alabama born blues harmonica player not surprisingly often confused with Sonny Boy Williamson (the Chess Records harmonica player) because of his chosen instrument and his nickname. Little Sonny is less well known than his more famous mentor from Tennessee, but nonetheless produced some great records that deserve your attention - especially if you like your blues with a funky feel.

Just approaching his forties, Willis started a trio of albums for Stax and its subsidiary label Enterprise in the early seventies. "New King Of Blues Harmonica" came first in 1970 with "Hard Goin' Up" being number three in 1973 (it charted Stateside). "Black & Blue" is the one in the middle - released in 1972 on Enterprise ENS 1018 in the USA - and then remastered and reissued onto this now rare US-only CD in 1992. /Amazon
