Sonny Terry compilations
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
