Synopsis

Album Description

An 18-song compilation culled from the six LP's McGhee recorded for Folkways, illustrates this stellar blues guitarist's remarkable musicianship and repertoire of older blues ballads and original compositions. One selection is made available here for the first time. "...an exceptionally fine example of Brownie McGhee's work...most of the songs... are given such excellent arrangements and delivered with such charm as to be irresistible." -- Shanachie Review

CD Reviews

Brownie's blues

Bomojaz | South Central PA, USA | 09/21/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"An excellent anthology of the great bluesman Brownie McGhee. The material is quite varied, from the standard 12-bar down-home classic to gospel tunes to 32-bar ballads to even an instrumental. DAISY, from 1957, is a real swinging gem utilizing the 8-bar form. Other highlights include RISING SUN (1955) and a previously unissued recording of JUST A DREAM, first recorded by Big Bill Broonzy in the mid-40's. Traditional blues fans should find plenty to like on this CD."
