Around 1955 Little Sonny hopped on a bus and found himself in Detroit, in the middle of the blues. He hung out with his namesake, Sonny Boy Williamson, and developed his chops with John Lee Hooker, Eddies Burns and Kirkland, and a whole bunch of others. It took 15 years and Stax Records, looking north from Memphis, before he cut his first album, the modestly titled New King Of The Blues Harmonica. In 1973 he cut the sequel, once again in Detroit city-.-Hard Goin' Up which kicks off with 3 Bettye Crutcher songs, including the title track, the rest of the album consisting of 6 tunes from Aaron Willis, aka Little Sonny. The creeper returns, with 18 of the best in harmonica blues.
