Our Take
Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee's "Working Man Blues" is a foot-stomping, heart-wrenching ode to the trials and tribulations of the working class. This dynamic duo have been tearing up the blues scene for decades, and this album is no exception to their legendary status. From the gritty harmonica solos of Sonny Terry to the soulful guitar licks of Brownie McGhee, "Working Man Blues" is a masterclass in blues craftsmanship. The opening track, "Hard-Working Blues," sets the tone for the entire album with its raw emotion and infectious energy. As the album progresses, songs like "No Money Down Blues" and "I Ain't Gonna Be Your Low Down Dog No More" showcase Terry & McGhee's unparalleled chemistry and musical prowess. The duo's voices intertwine in a mesmerising dance, conveying the pain and joy of the working man's life. But it's not all doom and gloom on "Working Man Blues." Tracks like "Happy-Go-Lucky Blues" and "Good Morning Blues" inject a sense of hope and optimism into the mix, proving that even in the toughest times, there is always a reason to smile. Overall, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee's "Working Man Blues" is a timeless masterpiece that pays homage to the struggles and triumphs of the working class. With its infectious rhythms and soulful melodies, this album is a must-listen for any blues fan. So grab a pint, sit back, and let the music of Sonny & Brownie take you on a journey through the heart of the working man's blues.
