The record
Brownie McGhee on guitar and vocals, Sonny Terry on harmonica and vocals -- both men carry singing credits, which is the pleasure of the pairing. Ten titles, 'Backwater Blues' and 'Custard Pie' among them. Kenneth S. Goldstein produced and Gene Shay supplied the notes, and the title puts the pair at the 2nd Fret. Prestige PRST 7803, a 1969 stereo reissue.
