Sonny Terry was one of the greatest and most innovative harmonica players of his time Together with Brownie McGhee they formed one of the most influential blues duos of the blues history Their melodic east coast Piedmont style led them to get a huge popularity among fans, first among black people and afterwards among late fifties students, intellectuals and political activists, which led them to be one of the first bluesmen to visit and introduce blues in Europe This album is a rarity Austrian label Wolf Records gives us It includes 21 songs recorded between 1938 and 1946 where Sonny Terry stands as the absolute figure Here you will find some songs recorded by Terry alone with only his voice and his harmonious, but you will also have the opportunity to enjoy him together with Brownie McGhee, Washboard Sam, Blind Boy Fuller and even backed in some cuts with the banjo, violin and guitar of Bob Dylan’s idol, Woody Guthrie This is an historical essential album to look back and remember those pre-war musicians who forged the roads of blues Let me say we owe it to Mr Hannes Folterbauer, we are really grateful for the great work he has done for many years in favour of real blues Let’s hope some day the European Blues Union or the Blues Foundation reward his work
