Sonny Boy Williamson & the Yardbirds is a live album by Chicago blues veteran Sonny Boy Williamson II backed by English rock band the Yardbirds. It was recorded at the Crawdaddy Club in Richmond, Surrey on December 8, 1963. However, the performances were not released until early 1966, after a string of Top 40 hits by the Yardbirds. Williamson sings and/or plays the harmonica on all of the songs

Alex or Aleck Miller (né Ford, possibly December 5, 1912 – May 24, 1965), known later in his career as Sonny Boy Williamson, was an American blues harmonica player, singer and songwriter. He was an early and influential blues harp stylist who recorded successfully in the 1950s and 1960s. Miller used various names, including Rice Miller and Little Boy Blue, before calling himself Sonny Boy Williamson, which was also the name of a popular Chicago blues singer and harmonica player

In Europe is a jazz related blues music album recording by SONNY BOY WILLIAMSON II released in 1995 on CD, LP/Vinyl and/or cassette.

Not to be confused with the earlier & more 'acoustic' Sonny Boy Williamson (of "Good Morning, School Girl" fame). His gravestone lists his date of birth as March 11, 1908. The stone erected by his sisters in Tutwiler, MS, lists his death as 23 June 1965. Such is the mystery of blues legends.

This is Sonny Boy Williamson II, a man who, throughout his life, was a master of misinformation. He was an inveterate liar who even maintained that he was the original Sonny Boy Williamson – rather than the original who recorded two decades earlier and whose name was John Lee Williamson. However, Sonny Boy’s liberal way with the truth, and his desire to confuse and confound should in no way detract from his talent.

Chicago blues veteran Sonny Boy Williamson II and English blues rock band The Yardbirds recorded a self-titled live album together. It was recorded in England at the Crawdaddy Club in Richmond, Surrey on December 8, 1963. When Williamson visited London with the (September/October) 1963 American Folk Blues Festival tour, he attended a Yardbirds concert near the festival. He returned shortly afterwards for a small club tour of England and to record this album.
