Sonny Boy Williamson II Eyesight To The Blind (1951)

 I remember the joy I felt when I finally got to hear this. In the old days it was hard to hear things that you wanted to - you could order a record - out of a big book - you could maybe ask a record shop to play a song - which I used to do at Milsom's in Bath as they had a listening booth and stocked blues albums. You could send off mail order which I used to do or maybe you could hear it on the radio but it was not easy like today.
