yeah, my dad was friends with them and they would come to our house when ever they came through town. For years I had cassettes of home recordings. Lost the tapes in a car accident!!! Car totalled and the tapes were never recovered....so so lucky to have grown up with these amazing men1!1\
This is a great version but my favorite version of Sonny & Brownie doing John Henry is on their album "Sonny Terry & Brownie Mc Ghee Sing" It's played to a galloping beat It gives me goose bumps.
They're my favorite.

The Total Masters of the Country Blues doing their thing like no other
In Tony Glover's book "Blues Harp", he says the one thing that holds Sonny & Brownie above the heads of other musicians is STYLE.

JOHN HENRY - American folklore legend, along with Paul Bunyon and Johnny Appleseed... GOD BLESS
I am proud to have smoked a pipe at Johnny Appleseed's grave and spoken with Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, but I never met Paul Bunyon.
Never met John Henry but I knew a lot of people like him.
