Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee were performing together since 1939 – probably longer than any working blues or folk duo or group. The brand of blues that Mr. Terry and Mr. McGhee learned to play has been called Piedmont blues after the region in the Southeast. Unlike the blues performers of Mississippi and Texas, many of whom grew up in rigidly segregated societies and played exclusively for blacks, Piedmont bluesmen often lived near whites and learned to play a variety of tunes – ragtime, gospel, ballads, old minstrel show songs, even white hoedown music in addition to blues. Disc One reflects two separate sessions; the first recorded in the late ’50s and represents their acoustic blues. The second session was recorded in one three hour studio booking in Germany while on tour. Disc Two consists of two live concerts from 1974, previously unreleased.

Although Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee had a stormy, tempestuous relationship at times, they recorded more than their share of great Piedmont blues during their many years as a duo. Terry and McGhee parted company in the mid-’70s, but Walk On finds the two of them reunited on-stage at the Rising Sun Festijazz in Montreal, Quebec on July 22, 1980 (when Terry was 68 and McGhee was 64). And despite all of the well-publicized friction that sometimes existed between them in the ’60s and ’70s, Terry and McGhee don’t sound like they are unhappy to be reunited — not at all. In fact, the two of them enjoy a strong rapport during a six-song set that includes performances of “Good Morning Blues,” “Walk On,” and “I’m Gonna Get on My Feets After a While” (which is a perfect example of why the Terry & McGhee twosome was highly regarded in both blues and folk circles). Walk On isn’t strictly a Terry & McGhee release; while half of the LP is devoted to them, the other half consists of three selections by Lightnin’ Hopkins and three by Louisiana Red (who is in good form on “I’m a King Bee” and “Sweet Home Chicago”). And it is interesting to note the stylistic differences between the artists — you have Piedmont blues from Terry & McGhee, Texas blues from Hopkins, and a Louisiana-meets-Chicago approach from Louisiana Red. Although Walk On falls short of essential, this album still has a lot going for it and is an enjoyable document of the 1980 festival in Montreal. – Alex Henderson
