Wrapping up the focus we been putting on the blues duo Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee is a fantastic segment they did for the British Broadcasting Corp in 1974. Great stuff.

Catfish Radio – Brownie McGhee playing the soulful Don’t Pity Me. Filmed from Pete Seeger’s Ranbow Quest show in the 1960’s. In a great little aside at the end, Pete explains to the audience exactly how Sonny Terry takes a different approach to playing the harp.
This is a track from Ma and Pa Hodge singing in the kitchen. Recording pulled from a stack of cassettes in the basement. They singing the old gospel “I’ll Fly Away”, just like they’ve always done in places like Kentucky or across Appalachia. Some fuzz in the feedback, but touching to hear their voices.
Check out Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee killing it on “Red River Blues” and “Crow Jane,” two of the oldest known pieces in the Piedmont blues repetoire.
