Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee - live in 1972

All the footage I've edited together here was split across two documentaries filmed in 1972 - 'Le Blues Entre Les Dents' (released in 1973) and 'Out of the Blacks Into the Blues'. I've tried to match the audio and visuals as best I can although there are still the odd gap here and there.

This is a brilliant close up look at two giants of folk blues the amazing Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee. It's also interesting in the interviews to hear about how they met, their upbringings and thoughts on the blues.
