Sonny Terry & BrownieMcGhee —
Home Town Blues ... LP Mainstream, Late 1940s/Early 1950s. Very Good ...
$8.99
A range of different recordings from the team of Sonny Terry & BrownieMcGhee – all recorded by a young Bob Shad at the end of the 40s and start of the 50s – and originally issued as 78s on the Sittin In With and Jax labels! The work is quite rootsy, even for the time – but that's no surprise, given the time-tested styles of the pair. Most numbers feature Brownie on guitar and Sonny on vocals and harmonica – plus a bit of other instrumentation – and the recordings were all done in New York, during the years 1949 to 1952. LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono mid 60s pressing. Cover has aging and light surface wear, spot of pen on the back.)
Bluesy soundtrack for this 70s film based on the life of Huddie Ledbetter – aka Leadbelly – featuring guitar by Brownie, harmonica by Sonny, and vocals by Hitide Harris in the place of Leadbelly. Art Evans also sings some vocals as Blind Lemon Jefferson – and the tracks are nearly all Ledbetter originals, including "Go Down Ol Hannah","Fannin Street", "Rock Island Line", "Silver City Bound", "Green Corn", and "Black Girl". Fred Karlin arranged and conducted. LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cut corner, light wear, corner bend.)
