The record

Brownie McGhee singing and playing guitar with Sonny Terry's harmonica answering him, and a second guitar from Bennie Foster filling the space between. Nine sides including 'Trouble In Mind' and 'Everyday I Have The Blues', worn-in material handled without ceremony. Prestige reissued it in 1964 on PR 1042, mono, with notes by Pete Welding.
