NOTES

This material, all previously unreleased, was recorded by Lillian McMurry of Trumpet Records in Jackson, Mississippi and Bill Holford in Houston, Texas. Pianist Willie Love, who had been a friend of Sonny Boy since their first gig together in 1942, died shortly after the recording. See the well-researched liner notes by Marc Ryan. Originally issued by Trumpet Records / Acoustic Archives in 1989 as AA-700; reissued in the Alligator Records Trumpet Series in 1993 as ALCD2700.
