(Harp, Acoustic Blues, Country Blues) Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee - 30 альбомов - 1951-2007, MP3 (tracks), VBR 320-160 kbps

From 1939 to their break-up as a duo nearly forty years later, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee were quintessential American bluesmen, widely known and instantly recognizable. They were the oddest couple of the blues with contrasting styles and personalities. Their continuous onstage bickering was not staged, rather completely real and spontaneous. Their differences and competitiveness brought out the best in each man, and, at the same time, kept their artistic integrity as individuals. Unfortunately though, these contrasts eventually led to the duo's final split in the mid-1970’s.
Sonny was born Saunders Terrell in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1911. His father was a folk-styled harmonica player, but blues wasn't part of his repertoire. Nearly blind since childhood (he lost sight in one eye when he was five, and in the other at eighteen), Sonny had always played music on street corners or anywhere his harmonicas could take him. In 1937 he entered a recording studio for the first time with Piedmont pioneer, the legendary guitar player Blind Boy Fuller. Sonny was one-of-a-kind and his timing was perfect; in the Delta blues idiom, he established the criteria by which country blues harp players were to be measured by. His typical Southeastern "whooping style" had the power to fill with harmonics the space between his voice and the instrument; his moans and hollers were truly authentic field blues grace-notes, found only in some of the most isolated rural areas of America. Even in his early days, through many original, memorable performances, Sonny Terry proved to be a sensational blues interpreter. One of those is Sonny's solo Mountain Blues from the 1938 Spirituals To Swing concert, probably one of his finest recordings sung completely in falsetto. Fuller died in 1939 and the same year, Sonny timely met his blues soul mate, Brownie McGhee.
Walter "Brownie" McGhee, born in 1914 in Knoxville, Tennessee, came from a musical family. His style was unique, fusing together various influences; his guitar arrangements were jazzy in their harmonic and rhythmic convolution, still managing to hold on to the most traditional of blues.
The Sonny and Brownie duo was quick to gain popularity with both audiences and their fellow blues and folk artists; most blues musicians of their time never crossed local fences. Few of their contemporaries even had access to recording studios, notable exceptions being Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, and Rev. Gary Davis. Even fewer bluesmen got to the level of exposure that Sonny and Brownie enjoyed. They appeared separately and together in several movies, shows and Broadway productions. However, it was their performances as a duo that made them famous; the folk boom of the late '50s and early '60s was their golden moment. The hard work of perpetual touring and recording stretched for another decade or so, when, older, tired and less tolerant, Sonny and Brownie could no longer bear their antagonism toward each other. Their legacy, however, is secure, and their importance in blues history is undeniable.
BROWNIE McGHEE & SONNY TERRY - Brownie McGhee was born Walter Brown McGhee in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1915. His Uncle was a proficient fiddler and gave young Brownie his first instrument. Brownie contracted Polio at a young age, so he spent much of his time in bed practicing the guitar. He began early playing around the Southeastern United States. Sonny Terry was born Saunders Terrell in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1911.
Sonny Terry's father was a farmer and musician, who taught Sonny love of the Blues, and how to play Blues harmonica. He traveled with medicine shows and eventually met Blind Boy Fuller, and first recorded with the 'Piedmont Blues' guitarist in 1937 for Vocalion Records. Brownie first met Sonny Terry in North Carolina in 1939 and worked with him and singer Paul Robeson in Washington, DC, in 1940. Brownie McGhee began to record for Okeh Records in 1940. Brownie had Sonny Terry play on his recording session of Workingman's Blues, and a long-standing partnership was formed. Shortly after they relocated and broke into the New York Folk scene, working alongside Leadbelly, Josh White, and Woody Guthrie. From 1942 to 1950 Brownie McGhee also ran his own music school, 'Home of the Blues', in Harlem. After the end of WWII, Brownie began to record, both with and without Sonny Terry, for a myriad of R&B labels: Savoy, Alert, London, Derby, Dot, and Harlem. Sonny Terry was doing the same with recordings for Jackson, Red Robin, RCA Victor, Groove, Harlem, Old Town, and Ember, usually with Brownie on guitar. Brownie McGhee & Sonny Terry were among the first Blues artists to tour Europe during the 1950s and recording to the early-'60s albums for Folkways, Choice, World Pacific, Bluesville, and Fantasy. They also toured with many Folk festivals in America, Canada and Europe, appearing on television and movies. Both Brownie McGhee & Sonny Terry continued to record solo as well as together. Brownie appeared in Tennessee Williams' play 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' on Broadway, 1955-57, and recorded several motion-picture soundtracks. They finally parted their ways in the mid-1970's due to personal problems. Sonny Terry continued to play and record, passing away in 1986. Brownie McGhee carried on for the next 10 years performing festivals and recording. His final appearance was at the Chicago Blues festival in 1995 before passing Feb.16, 1996, Oakland, California. Sonny Terry was inducted into the Blues Foundation's Hall of Fame in 1987. Brownie McGhee was inducted into the Blues Foundation's Hall of Fame in 1997
Just A Closer Walk 1957. Here's Brownie and Sonny's gospel album, recorded in 1957 at Jenny Lind Hall in Oakland, California. Those used to hearing this duo stomp and hoot the blues will be surprised as they tackle material like "What a Beautiful City," "I Shall Not Be Moved," "If I Could Hear My Mother Pray," and Gary Davis' "Get Right Church" in their own inimitable style. But an even bigger surprise comes with the liner notes, penned by major league baseball player Orlando Cepeda! By far the most interesting of all the many recordings this twosome made during their time together.
Bakewater Blues 1961. Songs of whiskey, women, and money — nothing was more important to the repertoire of this classic acoustic blues duo. Good relations on stage were not, but during this 18-tune club date at Sugar Hill in San Francisco, Terry and McGhee are in good spirits. The former's fingerpicking, good-time guitar strummin', and even-keeled singing, joined by Terry's frantic harmonica and frequent whoops and hollers were the epitome of this genre's style, and these two performing in their heyday.
They do hits familiar to all like "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer," "Key to the Highway," and "Careless Love," while changing up "Sittin' on Top of the World," making it "Climbin' on Top of the Hill." Advice songs include the poignant "My Father's Words," "(If You) Lose Your Money (Please Don't Lose Your Mind," and "Walk On." There's also a lone instrumental, "Playing With the Blues"; the title track identified by Terry as "Backwater Rising"; and occasionally call-and-response vocalizing as on "Climbin'" or harmony singing on "You'd Better Mind." The clarity of the recording and the singing is pure as the driven snow, with no distortion or compression. It's the way this blues should be heard. Lee Hildebrand's episodic liner notes relating the strained relationship between Terry and McGhee, and the tale of Barbara Dane's involvement in the Sugar Hill club is as important a story as the songs the duo sing. The words and music prove a last will and testament accenting this posthumous release, a companion to the Live at Sugar Hill Original Blues Classic CD. It's a must buy for those who treasure this type of no-nonsense porch-style get-down blues.
Walter "Brownie" McGhee (November 30, 1915 - February 16, 1996) was a folk-blues singer and guitarist, best known for his collaborations with the harmonica player Sonny Terry.
He grew up in Kingsport, Tennessee and suffered from polio as a child, which incapacitated his leg. His brother "Stick" got his nickname from pushing young Brownie around in a cart. McGhee spent much of his youth immersed in music, singing with local harmony group the Golden Voices Gospel Quartet and teaching himself the guitar.
At the age of 22 he became a traveling musician, working in the Rabbit Foot Minstrels and meeting and befriending Blind Boy Fuller, whose guitar playing influenced him greatly. After Fuller's death in 1941, J. B. Long of Columbia Records had him adopt his mentor's name, branding him Blind Boy Fuller II. By that time, McGhee was recording for Columbia's subsidiary Okeh Records in Chicago, Illinois, but his real success did not come until his 1942 relocation to New York City, when he officially teamed up with Sonny Terry, who he had known since 1939. The pairing was an overnight success, recording and touring together until around 1980. They did most of their work together from 1958 until 1980, spending eleven months of each year touring, and recording dozens of albums.
Despite their fame as "pure" folk artists, in the 1940s, Terry and McGhee fronted a jump blues combo with honking saxophone that was variously called Brownie McGhee and his Jook House Rockers or Sonny Terry and his Buckshot Five. They also appeared in the original Broadway productions of Finian's Rainbow and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
During the blues revival of the 1960s Terry and McGhee were highly popular on the concert and festival circuits, occasionally adding new material but usually remaining faithful to their roots.
In 1987, McGhee gave a small but memorable performance as ill-fated blues singer, Toots Sweet, in the supernatural thriller movie, Angel Heart.
Happy Traum, a former guitar lesson student of Brownie's, edited a blues guitar instruction guide and songbook for him. Using a tape recorder, Traum let McGhee instruct and, in between, talk about his life and the blues. Entitled "Guitar Styles of Brownie McGhee", it was published in New City in 1971. The autobiography section has Brownie talking about growing up, his musical beginnings, and a history of the early blues period (1930s onward).
One of McGhee's final concert appearances came at the 1995 Chicago Blues Festival.[1]McGhee died from stomach cancer in February 1996, at the age of 80.[2]
Saunders Terrell, better known as Sonny Terry (24 October 1911, Greensboro, North Carolina - 11 March 1986, Mineola, New York[1]) was a blind blues musician. He was most widely known for his energetic blues harmonica style, which frequently included vocal whoops and hollers, and imitations of trains and fox hunts.
His father, a farmer, taught him to play basic blues harp as a youth. He sustained injuries to his eyes and lost his sight by the time he was 16, which prevented him from doing farm work himself.[1] In order to earn a living Terry was forced to play music. He began playing in Shelby, North Carolina. After his father died he began playing along with Piedmont-style guitarist Blind Boy Fuller. When Fuller died, he established a long-standing musical relationship with Brownie McGhee, and the pair recorded numerous tracks together. The duo became well-known, even among white audiences, as they joined the growing folk movement of the 1950s and 1960s. This included collaborations with Woody Guthrie and Moses Asch, producing Folkways Records (now Smithsonian/Folkways) classic recordings.
In 1938 Terry was invited to play at Carnegie Hall for the first From Spirituals to Swing concert,[1] and later that year he recorded for the Library of Congress. In 1940 Terry recorded his first commercial sides.
Despite their fame as "pure" folk artists, in the 1940s, Terry and McGhee fronted a jump blues combo with honking saxophone that was variously called Brownie McGhee and his Jook House Rockers or Sonny Terry and his Buckshot Five.
Terry was also in the 1947 original cast of the Broadway musical comedy, Finian's Rainbow.[2]
Terry's song "Fox Chase" was used by the experimental filmmaker Len Lye as the soundtrack for his short film, Color Cry (1952). "Old Lost John" was used by Werner Herzog at the conclusion of his 1977 feature film, Stroszek. More recently Terry's track "Whoopin' The Blues" was used for a EON Wind Farm brand commercial.
Terry died in 1986, the year he was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame.[
Sonny Terry
Сондерс (согласно другим источникам - Сэнфорд) Террелл (Saunders (Sanford) Terrell), родился 24 октября 1911 г., в Гринсборо (Greensboro), Северная Каролина, умер 12 марта 1986 г. в Нью-Йорке.
К 16 годам Сонни Терри в результате двух несчастных случаев практически утратил зрение - и по примеру многих других слепых блюзменов он всецело отдался увлечению губной гармоникой. После смерти отца Сонни Терри подрабатывал, играя на ярмарках, а в 1937 году встретил Блайнд Боя Фуллера (Blind Boy Fuller) и переехал жить в Дурхэм (Durham), где играл на улицах вместе с Фуллером, Слепым Гэри Дэвисом (Blind Gary Davis) и музицирующем на стиральной доске Джорджем Уошингтоном (George Washington) по прозвищу “Булл Сити Ред” (Bull City Red). В звукозаписи дебют Сонни Терри состоялся в 1937 году на сеансе Блайнд Боя Фуллера (Blind Boy Fuller), где он исполнил партию аккомпанирующей губной гармоники. Вокализированные тоны, которыми Терри сопровождал свою игру, усилены своеобразными фальцетными завываниями - это его фирменный прием.
Сонни Терри выступал в качестве аккомпаниатора Блайнд Боя Фуллера до смерти последнего в 1941 году. В 1938 году, когда Фуллер отбывал срок заключения в тюрьме, Сонни Терри заменил его, приняв по приглашению Джона Хэммонда (John Hammond) участие в концерте 1938 года “От спиричуэла к свингу”. Сложное переплетение игры и пения Сонни Терри произвели фурор, что, впрочем, на тот момент не сказалось на его карьере, хотя фирма грамзаписи “Okeh” и выпустила его записи в качестве самостоятельного артиста. В 1942 году Сонни Терри выступил на концерте в Вашингтоне, Федеральный округ Колумбия; и с ним в качестве аккомпанирующего гитариста и поводыря, по предложению их менеджера Дж. Б. Лонга (J.B. Long), отправился Брауни МакГи (Brownie McGhee). Оба исполнителя получили приглашение на работу в Нью-Йорке, где и поселились и сотрудничали затем долгие годы. В Нью-Йорке Сонни Терри много записывался как артист и в качестве аккомпаниатора на многих фирмах грамзаписи, ориентированных на чернокожую аудиторию. Первые нью-йоркские записи Сонни Терри сделаны под руководством Моузеса Эша (Moses Asch) на фирме “Фолкуэйз” (Folkways), ему аккомпанировал Вуди Гатри (Woody Guthrie).
К концу 50-х гг. Сонни Терри и Брауни МакГи стали давать концерты для белых любителей фолк-музыки, для которых они представляли свою музыку как “фолк-блюз”. Сторонники блюза как музыки чернокожих оценили этот факт как предательство. Тем не менее репертуар Сонни Терри и Брауни МакГи выявляет большое количество песен, записанных именно для чернокожей аудитории, а детские песни и сельская танцевальная музыка, записанная Сонни Терри на сеансах у Моузеса Эша бесценный по своей документальности материал.
В 60-е гг. Сонни Терри перестал петь фальцетом, его голос огрубел и стал весьма неблагозвучен. В его дуэте с МакГи также наметился разрыв - Брауни МакГи и Сонни Терри не стали близкими друзьями и в последние годы стали питать друг к другу активную неприязнь, доходило до перебранок на сцене. Но в истории блюза они останутся дуэтом, познакомивших с этим жанром публику по всему свету.
За два года до смерти Сонни Терри, с помощью Вилли Диксона (Willie Dixon) и Джонни Уинтера (Johnny Winter) записал сольный альбом “Whoopin'”, где попытался сблизить манеру исполнения Сонни Терри с более жесткой традицией блюза в электрической трактовке Уинтера. bluesharp.inkharkov.com

Судьба предопределила выбор профессии Сонни Терри уже к 16 годам, когда в результате двух несчастных случаев он практически утратил зрение - по примеру многих других слепых блюзменов он не имел другого выбора, как всецело отдаться своему увлечению губной гармоникой.

К концу 50-х гг. Сонни Терри и Брауни МакГи фактически перестали давать концерты для чернокожей публики, освоив аудиторию белых любителей фолк-музыки, для которых они представляли свою музыку как "фолк-блюз". Бескомпромиссные сторонники блюза как музыки чернокожих расценили этот факт как предательство и продажность. Тем не менее объективное рассмотрение репертуара Сонни Терри и Брауни МакГи выявляет большое количество песен, записанных именно для чернокожей аудитории, а детские песни и сельская танцевальная музыка, записанная Сонни Терри на сеансах у Моузеса Эша сохраняют свое значение бесценного по документальности материала.
В 60-е гг. Сонни Терри практически перестал петь фальцетом, его голос огрубел и иногда был весьма неблагозвучен.

Впрочем, в истории блюза они навсегда останутся дуэтом, познакомивших с этим жанром широчайшие слои публики по всему свету.
За два года до своей смерти Сонни Терри, с помощью Вилли Диксона (Willie Dixon) и в особенности Джонни Уинтера (Johnny Winter) (гитариста и продюсера, незадолго до того работавшего над четырьмя последними работами Мадди Уотерса (Muddy Waters), ознаменовавшими триумфальное возвращение Уотерса на авансцену блюза) записал сольный альбом "Whoopin'", где была сделана попытка сближения манеры исполнения Сонни Терри с более жесткой традицией блюза Дельты в электрической трактовке Уинтера.
