Not to be confused with the earlier Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee album on Fantasy records, Sonny & Brownie was recorded in the early 70s at Paramount in LA and released in 1973 by A&M. Great 2xLP collection, including covers of Randy Newman’s “Sail Away” and Michael Franks’ “You Bring Out the Boogie in Me” as well as originals and blues standards.

Guest musicians include Arlo Guthrie, Michael Franks, and John Mayall, reflecting their stature by the early 70s as blues men.

My copy—via Residency Records in Salem MA—is a later repressing (based on the label) from Columbia’s Terre Haute plant (from the runouts).
