About this product

Best known for his blues harmonica recordings, Sonny Terry joins friends Brownie McGhee and J.C. Burris to explore the range of the jawharp (also known as Jew's harp or mouth harp) in blues and American folk music. According to producer Charles Edward Smith, Terry's vocal responses to the sounds of the jawharp, one of the world's oldest musical instruments, recall traditional African and African-American call-and-response patterns, which influenced the blues music of Terry's generation. 13 tracks, 45 minutes, with liner notes which include the history of the jawharp, Sonny Terry's musical background, and song descriptions. Album Tracks 1. Shortnin' Bread 2. Oh, What a Beautiful City 3. Whoop and Holler 4. My Baby's Gone 5. Dirty Mistreater 6. Pick a Bale of Cotton 7. I've Been Your Doggie Since I've Been Your Man 8. Skip to My Lou 9. Crow Jane 10. Blues from Everywhere 11. Fox Chase 12. Harmonica Blues 13. Bottle Up and Go
