16 tracks recorded in the 1950s for New York's Old Town label, most of which were unissued at the time. The core of this anthology is the 11 songs by Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, who do electrified city blues with an audible influence from Chicago performers like Bo Diddley and Jimmy Reed. It's not the style they're most renowned for, perhaps, but the results are pretty good. [AMG]
This Rare stuff from these two 50's R&B fellows are the best they ever recorded, believe me. If you like Chicago electrified blues you gotta go for this. Dig!
