Skip to product information
SONNY TERRY and Brownie McGhee were performing together since 1939 -probably longer than any working blues or folk duo or group. The brand of blues that Mr. Terry and Mr. McGhee learned to play has been called Piedmont blues after the region in the Southeast. Unlike the blues performers of Mississippi and Texas, many of whom grew up in rigidly segregated societies and played exclusively for blacks, Piedmont bluesmen often lived near whites and learned to play a variety of tunes - ragtime, gospel, ballads, old minstrel show songs, even white hoedown music in addition to blues. Disc One reflects two separate sessions; the first recorded in the late ‘50s and represents their acoustic blues. The second session was recorded in one three hour studio booking. in German while on tour. Disc Two consists of two live concerts from 1974 previously unreleased.
