Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee - Hootin' the Blues

Sonny Terry
1950s1952youtube

Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee perform the tremendously brilliant Hootin' the Blues from the year 1952. Blind harp wizard Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, a spectacular guitar picker, had a 35-year-long partnership that helped to define Folk/Blues. Their Piedmont style Blues has a very different feel to Delta Blues and its effect on modern music has a very different genesis to the route through Chicago that gave us Blues-rock. 🎵 Enjoy more from Blue Notes to Kingston: Lonnie Johnson - Another Night to Cry https://youtu.be/n8fyb9vpIc0 Louis Prima - Banana Split for My Baby https://youtu.be/uJcRoYuV2Q0 Cab Calloway & Nicholas Brothers - Jumpin' Jive https://youtu.be/qXZRWa8kyAE 🛎 Subscribe to Blue Notes to Kingston for more from America's golden ages of music: https://www.youtube.com/@bluenotestokingston?sub_confirmation=1 #SonnyTerryBrownieMcGhee #HootintheBlues #BlueNotesToKingston
