	Brownie McGhee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Walter "Brownie" McGhee (November 30 1915 - February 16 1996) was a folk-blues singer and guitarist, best known for his collaborations with the harmonica player Sonny Terry.
		By that McGhee was recording for Okeh records in Chicago, but his real success did not come until his 1942 relocation to New York City, where he was teamed up with Terry.
		During the "folk revival" of the 1960s Terry and McGhee were highly popular on the concert and festival circuits, occasionally adding new material but usually remaining faithful to their roots.

	Brownie McGhee : Blues Is Truth - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Brownie McGhee was 60 when Blues Is Truth (reissued on CD by Concord's Blues Alliance label in 1996) was recorded in White Plains, N.Y. in 1976, and the veteran bluesman was still a powerful, authoritative singer.
		Although not quite in a class with McGhee's magnificent work with Sonny Terry in the 1950s and '60s, Truth is a consistently appealing date that unites him with such solid players as guitarist Louisana Red (who's also an excellent singer, though he doesn't sing here), harmonica player Sugar Blue and pianist Sammy Price.
		McGhee is in fine form on everything from the lonely desperation of "Rainy Day" to the upbeat, party-time atmosphere of "Walk On" and sibling Sticks McGhee's familiar "Wine Sporty Orty." The band is quite cohesive, and McGhee never sounds less than inspired.

	Brownie McGhee "Born With The Blues": Vestapol Video 13060
		Walter Brown McGhee (1915-1996) was an articulate spokesman for the blues who, in partnership with Sonny Terry, proselytized the buoyant Piedmont-Blues style to folk audiences a decade before most ever heard of the Mississippi Delta.
		Other reminders here of Brownie's pre-war blues career are Death of Blind Boy Fuller (written to order on the occasion of Fuller's 1941 demise) and the Fuller influenced Pawn Shop Blues.
		Tennessee born, Carolina-influenced, New York based in his folk boom glory, and a Californian at the time of his death, Brownie showed a wide stylistic range from turn-of-the-century ragtime (Come On Keep It Coming) to the lyrical sophistication of such original songs as Conversation With a River.

		A finer collection of pre-World War II country blues is not likely to be found anywhere; McGhee was a master at his craft, and the songs here are expressive, masterfully performed, and rhythmically upbeat in the best Piedmont tradition.
		It's mostly McGhee solo, as these tracks were recorded just before he began his famous longtime partnership with harmonica player Sonny Terry.
		The influence of Blind Boy Fuller is evident (McGhee once recorded as Blind Boy Fuller No. 2), but McGhee had by this time firmly established his own style.

		Throughout the set and regardless of subject matter there is a positive, buoyant spirit, a feeling, as in the superb version of "John Henry," of affirmation.
		Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry recorded a handful of albums for the Folkways label in the 1950's, out of which was collected an excellent CD compilation called The Folkways Years.
		Brownie McGhee sounds so good doing the backup vocals on a lot of tracks, and Sonny has never sounded better singing in my opinion.

		Stick McGhee got his nickname during the years when he was pushing his handicapped older brother, future blues legend Brownie McGhee, in a wagon with a stick.
		Stick (his real name was Granville McGhee) served in the Army during WWII, during which time he often pulled out his guitar to play.
		It was nowhere to be found, so he took Stick and Brownie back into the studio to record it again, which was fortunate because the 1949 version adopted the new "rocking" rhythm, which was coming into vogue that year.
