Sonny Terry compilations

[dvandoornik@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

        I've seen plenty of responses for Big Walter Horton CDs, so I'll 
     add my 2 cents worth for Sonny Terry.  I know of ST compilations from 
     both Document and Smithsonian.  I haven't heard the one from Document, 
     I think it's mostly his earlier recordings (pre 1935?).  The one I 
     really like is from Smithsonian Records, entitled "Sonny Terry, the 
     Folkway Years."  I don't have the address for Smithsonian Records off 
     hand, but I'd be happy to find it if you want it.  They publish a 
     catalog of their recordings that are available.  If you buy a Sonny 
     Terry compilation, make sure it has "Lost John" on it.  IMHO it's a 
     classic.

     Hello Harpers,
     
     
     Yesterday I had the opportunity to play as supporting act 
     for Paul Lamb & Kingsnakes.
     I also had the chance to ask him for some good tips to 
     improve my playing. He suggested to listen more to Sonny 
     Terry and Big Walter Horton and I must admit
     I have not really checked these guys out.Does anybody know a 
     good Big Walter Horton or Sonny Terry compilation CD (like 
     the one from Little Walter,"The essential...")
     
     Thks
     in Advance
