Lightnin' Hopkins, Brownie McGhee, Sonny Terry - Blues Hoot (1961 / 1995 DCC Gold Audiophile Edition)
Label: DCC Compact Classics [GZS-1081] | WavPack (image+.cue, log) | 00:59:36 | 333 MB | 15 tracks
Genre: Country Blues, Acoustic Blues, Piedmont Blues, Texas Blues

Originally recorded live in 1961 at the legendary Ash Grove folk club in Los Angeles and beautifully remastered for gold disc by Steve Hoffman in 1995 for DCC Compact Classics, Blues Hoot is an absolute holy grail of acoustic blues. Bringing together three towering titans of the genre—Texas giant Lightnin' Hopkins, Piedmont blues guitarist Brownie McGhee, and virtuosic harmonica wizard Sonny Terry (with guest appearances by Big Joe Williams)—this record captures the unmatched warmth, spontaneous humor, and brilliant instrumental telepathy of the 1960s folk-blues revival. The first section highlights Hopkins' trademark narrative wit and stinging acoustic guitar on tracks like Coffee House Blues, before transitioning into historical summit jams like Blues For Gamblers. The latter half belongs to the peerless, decades-long chemistry of Terry and McGhee, showcasing their iconic call-and-response vocal styling and soaring harmonica train-whistle effects on Down By The Riverside and live bonus tracks recorded at The Troubadour. Preserved in a pristine, audiophile-grade high-fidelity digital archive, this gold reissue offers an incredibly spatial, front-row seat to an unforgettable night of blues history.
