Thanks to my neighbour i was raised listening to music like this. I can now recall all those nights at his home, he used to drink and smoke, and me, i would, as a eleven years old child who knows nothing about music, jump around trying to understand what's that all about. He would say, there is nothing to undestand, it's all about feeling good while listening to something like this. After all these years i think i can now feel in his heart of hearts and see what his eyes could see and all this thanks to music like this...
Yesterday i approached this song in my father's ear, suffering from alzheimer's, no reaction. It was throught him that formerly Sonny Terry "was part of the family" ... sadness and nostalgia 😢
Probably Early-Mid 1970s _Old Grey Whistle Test,_ when they were still using _that_ famous studio. :) Lemme check.... EDIT: Yes, just found out that it was the _OGWT_ from 05/06/73.
What a legacy these two left.Privileged to hear them with the Barber band i the 60'
Unrepeatable harmonica player.❤

It must be nearly half a century since I first heard these two - and I still love them! Thanks ST&BM for what you gave the world.
Well said!
One hundred thumbs up.
Saw them back in 60's at the MATRIX in SF. Amazing artists!
It's almost impossible to doublicate.❤
Best harmonica player I've ever heard
Wow this actually sent shivers up my spine. I stopped what I was doing just to listen
God damn they're both so incredibly talented! ❤
Sonny & Brownie at the top of their game. It just doesn't get any better than this. Cloud 9.

The song that inspired Clapton to his incredible career
Clapton brought me here.
that's the best country blues there is
Sends shivers up my spine, there is no substitute for raw talent and timing. Their music is a must have for any serious collection.
I saw them at a club on sunset late 60s/early 70s.
Got to hang out with them after the show, drinking milk with whiskey in it.
Whoopin' the blues is an American song of the American Sonny Terry.
