Sonny Boy would have been proud

"As far as I know, neither Bloomfied nor Kooper actually met or played with Sonny Boy Williamson II (Alex "Rice" Miller) the salty, sotted, and brilliant subject of "Sonny Boy Williamson" (Peter Brown of Cream's tribute to Sonny Boy), the author (with sideman Elmore James) of "One Way Out" (on the second two-CD volume of this concert) and "No More Lonely Nights" (actually "No Nights By Myself" written for Sonny Boy by Lillian McMurry, Trumpet Records owner and a blues lady in the finest sense).
As Sonny Boy's biographer, I'd love to know where these two discovered the magic of Sonny Boy. [...]
