Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 8-27-1974

Here is another concert from the Ebbets Field radio broadcasts. This one features the blues duo Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee.

Terry and McGhee had an unusually long musical relationship with each other. They began playing together around 1942, and continued to record albums and tour together until about 1980, when they stopped due to retirement. Terry died in 1986, and McGhee died in 1996.

The cover photo is from the Festival Record, in Sydney, Australia, on July 26, 1974. That is Brownie McGhee on the guitar and Sonny Terry on the harmonica. The picture is actually a composite of two photos taken from the same photo session. One of the photos made up about 80% of the image, but I used the second one to get part of McGhee’s body and put them together in Photoshop. The original image was in black and white, but I used the Kolorize program to colorize it.
