NOTES

These tracks were recorded by Lillian McMurry of the Diamond Record Company,Jackson, Mississippi, in 1953-54, who released some of them as 78's on her Trumpet label. The front cover photograph,taken in Memphis in 1949, shows Sonny Boy doing his party trick -- playinga harp stuck in his mouth with no hands! Trumpet specialist Marc Ryan contributesliner notes. A number of these songs also appear on Goin'In Your Direction.
