Juke Boy Bonner
The Legacy Of The Blues Vol. 5
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1976 Stereo 12 Track Compilation From One Of The Great Hidden Treasures Of The Blues. Juke Boy Bonner’s album, "The Legacy of the Blues Vol. 5," issued by Sonet Records in 1974, captures the essence of his raw, unfiltered approach to Texas blues. Recorded in Houston in November 1972, this album found Bonner at a point of reflection and resilience, just before his untimely death in 1978. Bonner, a one-man band adept at guitar, harmonica, and vocals, delivers a deeply personal and sometimes somber collection of songs that chronicle the struggles and social realities of his life. His songwriting, often autobiographical, highlights themes of hardship, alienation, and perseverance unique to his own experiences but resonant with the broader blues tradition.
