Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, Sporting Life Blues, 1987 on JSP Records
These recordings were made at a private party in Glasgow Scotland in 1958, and released on JSP records in 1987 (a year after Sonny Terry passed). It can be hard to find, though it seems to now be on spotify: Sporting Life Blues. (John Stedman is listed as producer on the 2025 digital release, and JSP records was John Stedman Productions). I think this is still the only vinyl edition that's been released, though perhaps it's due for a reissue. My copy—via private sale—unfortunately […]https://goatless.org/2026/08/05/sonny-terry-brownie-mcghee-sporting-life-blues-1987-on-jsp-records

Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, Sonny & Brownie, 1973 on A&M
Not to be confused with the earlier Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee album on Fantasy records, Sonny & Brownie was recorded in the early 70s at Paramount in LA and released in 1973 by A&M. Great 2xLP collection, including covers of Randy Newman's "Sail Away" and Michael Franks' "You Bring Out the Boogie in Me" as well as originals and blues standards. Guest musicians include Arlo Guthrie, Michael Franks, and John Mayall, reflecting their stature by the early 70s as blues men.

Now next Friday come I didn't get the rent,
And out the door I went”#johnleehooker #amosmilburn #rudytoombs #AlexisKorner #sonnyterry #browniemcghee #georgethorogoodandthedestroyers

The Blues Box, 1966 on Verve Folkways.
3xLP box set featuring Lightnin' Hopkins, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, and Jimmy Witherspoon. On a couple of sides Hopkins plays with Terry & McGhee. The recordings were all made in Los Angeles - the first two LPs are taken from the Ash Grove on July 6th and 7th, 1960, and the third LP says it was recorded in LA in September 1959. My copy via Flip Over Records in Acton MA. I love finding old box sets for a reasonable price.https://goatless.org/2026/04/30/the-blues-box-1966-on-verve-folkways

Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, Midnight Special, 1977 on Fantasy
This 2xLP release is a reissue of two earlier albums: 1960’s Blues & Folk (sides 1 and 2) and 1961’s Blues All Around My Head (sides 3 and 4). Fantasy often put out these reissues as double LPs, as the earlier blues artists were being rediscovered again – good way to get the earlier material.
My copy via Academy Records in New York, NY, with a “Demonstration Only” stamp on the back cover, on late 70s Fantasy labels.

#NowPlaying / #NowSpinning #VariousArtists #TheOriginalAmericanFolkBluesFestival, released in Germany in fall 1962.
This is the original German first release of one of the very first American Folk Blues Festival shows in Europe by impressarios Lippmann & Rau: Brunswick Records STEREO 109012. It was recorded at Audimax der Universität, Hamburg, on October 18, 1962. Condition: Near Mint (vinyl & cover)
I did buy this for really a few Euros at a flea market in #Heppenheim last year – what an excellent bargain. Just love it!
