 Both sides were recorded on December 4, 1951 in Jackson, MS. Sonny Boy Williamson (Aleck "Rice" Miller) on vocals and harmonica was accompanied by a full band credited as "His House Rockers" on other records, here consisting of Willie Love on piano, Elmore James and Joe Willie Wilkins on guitars, Cliff Givens on vocal bass and Joe Dyson on drums.

Because of the recording date and the undoubted 1952 release of another single from the same session with a higher Trumpet cat#, "Stop Now Baby" / "Mr. Down Child" (No. 168, Aug 1952), this one is generally listed as a 1952 single as well, for example in Martin C. Strong's The Great Rock Discography (April 1952). It wasn't so, however, as stated by my friend on RYM, jaybird69, already ten years ago:

Here's a shocker...the release date. I don't doubt the discographer (Martin Strong cited in RYM corrections history) cites an Apr 1952 release, but historical documentation suggests otherwise. I know both sides were recorded Dec 4, 1951. Feb 1953 (yes, 1953...I did a double-take, too) issues of The Billboard indicate that was the release date. On page 45 of Feb 7 is a label ad citing this a "new release." On page 40 of Feb 21 this was reviewed and placed in the "New Records To Watch" section. Only Nine Below Zero was therein reviewed, concluding with "Some action has already been reported on this one." On page 76 of Feb 28 both sides were reviewed (and different wording than that on Feb 21), and on page 99 of this same issue is another label ad with glamorous hype for this "terrific new release." In the Mar 21, 1953 issue on page 40 strong sales made this a "best buy" with Nine below Zero the touted side. My conclusion is historical periodicals trump a discographer writing decades later.
