I'm a sucker for those cheap blues CD box sets you find in charity shops for a quid. Despite some of the tracks sounding like they were using potatoes for microphones, there are always at least a dozen shelters on there.

Did you know there are two Sonny Boy Williamsons?
Don't Start Me Talkin' SBW aka Aleck "Rice" Miller (December 5, 1899 – May 25, 1965), also known as Sonny Boy Williamson II, was an American blues harmonica player, singer and songwriter. He is not to be confused with the original Sonny Boy Williamson, also a blues musician but no relation.
