Weldon “Juke Boy” Bonner (1932–1978) was born in the midst of the Great Depression. He experienced hard times throughout his life as he endured health problems, poverty, and the challenge of raising three children as a single parent. His experiences are reflected in the passion of his music and blues poetry. This collection includes songs not previously available on the Arhoolie label. In 2003, Chris Strachwitz issued this CD containing various unreleased sessions located between 1967 and 1974. However, these sides belatedly edited are not second choices at all. Indeed, "Ghetto poet" appears dense and varied, painting a good overview of the Juke Boy Bonner's underestimated work. There are several excellent titles issued in his characteristic style between Jimmy Reed and Lightnin' Hopkins : "Daylight won't catch me here", "Blues for Elmo", "Sportman's luck", "All the lonely days", "Rainin' in my room" and some curiosities like "Zodico jump" and "Childhood dreams".
