Sonny Terry • Sonny's Story

Review:

Sonny's Story is an excellent showcase for Sonny Terry's talents, which sometimes went unheralded because they largely were showcased in the shadow of Brownie McGhee. Here, Terry is largely playing solo acoustic, with J.C. Burris joining in for harmonica duets every so often; Sticks McGhee and drummer Belton Evans also play on a few cuts. Unlike some solo acoustic blues albums, Sonny's Story is positively infectious. It's hard not to get caught up in Terry's shouts and boogies, and that's one major reason why this is among his best solo recordings.

Reseña:

Sonny's Story es un excelente escaparate para los talentos de Sonny Terry, que a veces no se anunciaban porque se exhibían en gran medida a la sombra de Brownie McGhee. Aquí, Terry toca mayormente en solitario en acústica, con J.C. Burris participando en dúos de armónica de vez en cuando; Sticks McGhee y el baterista Belton Evans también tocan en algunos cortes. A diferencia de algunos álbumes de blues acústico en solitario, Sonny's Story es positivamente contagioso. Es difícil no quedar atrapado en los gritos y boogies de Terry, y esa es una de las principales razones por las que esta es una de sus mejores grabaciones en solitario.
