Personnel: Sonny Terry (harmonica, vocals), J.C. Burris (harmonica), Sticks McGhee (guitar), Belton Evans (drums). Recorded in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on October 13, 1960. Originally released on Bluesville (1025). Includes original release liner notes by Joe Goldberg. Digitally remastered by Kirk Felton (1990, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). Sonny's Story is an excellent showcase for Sonny Terry's talents, which sometimes went unheralded because they largely were showcased in the shadow of Brownie McGhee. Here, Terry is largely playing solo acoustic, with J.C. Burris joining in for harmonica duets every so often; Sticks McGhee and drummer Belton Evans also play on a few cuts. Unlike some solo acoustic blues albums, Sonny's Story is positively infectious. It's hard not to get caught up in Terry's shouts and boogies, and that's one major reason why this is among his best solo recordings. ~ Thom Owens
