Sonny terry whoopin
Harmonica Co Ref: 106
- Saunders Terrell was 72 when this album was recorded, but he sounds as hale and healthy as ever, and his joyous whoops still pepper his singing.
Johnny Winter plays excellent, gritty blues behind Sonny Terry, Willie Dixon slaps the upright bass, and drummer Styve Homnick lays down a tough, shuffling backbeat on these ten songs which include one instrumental, and excellent renditions of "I Got My Eyes On You", the up-tempo "Whooe, Whooe Baby (This Woman Is Killing Me)", and "Ya Ya", as well as yet another take on the classic "Worry No More / It Hurts Me Too"-tune, this one titled "Burnt Child", and a swinging, folkish "Crow Jane".
- It's a bit of shame that Sonny Terry's harmonica isn't amplified, but otherwise, this is a really strong session, the arrangements are excellent, and Sonny's voice is a powerful as ever.
