When you listen to so outstanding harp players like Sonny Boy Terry who has also spent a lot of time performing and playing not only in Houston TX, where he comes from, but also along north, south, central, east and west USA states, and knowing he has also played with some of the greatest blues names, one immediately wonders why he has not derserved the same fame and recognition as Kim Wilson, Sugar Ray, Mark Hummel, James Harman or Rod Piazza to only mention the first ones I have just thought about For me this becomes a mistery I am not able to solve Sonny Boy Terry is a gifted musician, with a amazing fine technique in the path of great masters like Little Walter, Walter Horton, George Smith and specially Sonny Boy Williamson II His imaginative varied elegant harp blowing give him an astonishing vitalistic cool tone, together with that special ‘big fat tone’ that only the greatest amplified harp masters can get Both cds are really impressive, pure authentic fifties traditional Chicago blues and specially Chicago south side blues Twenty three songs are included on these two cds where you will find as backing musicians such names as Grady Gaines and Joe ‘Guitar’ Hughes Sonny Boy Terry captures with an extremely feeling passion magic devotion and precision the real blues sensibility and soul and contributes to give to Doc Blues Records the recognition and gratefulness any traditional blues lover should undoubtedly give them Thank you Dog Blues and thank you Sonny Boy Terry for these two marvellous treasures
