Sonny Terry steps out on his own on Sonny's Story, a raw and joyful 1960 session reissued on 180-gram vinyl as part of the Bluesville Acoustic Sounds Series.

Best known for his decades-long partnership with guitarist Brownie McGhee, Terry was a harmonica player of rare power, able to whoop, holler and make his instrument cry in the same breath. Here he takes centre stage, recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, with a small band behind him and the spotlight squarely on that astonishing mouth harp.

I Ain't Gonna Be Your Dog No More opens the set with a sly, defiant bite, and Worried Blues keeps things rooted in the Piedmont blues tradition he grew up in. The title track gives the record its heart, while Great Tall Engine leans into the chugging, train-like rhythms that made his style so instantly recognisable.

Every track carries the loose, front-porch warmth of musicians playing together in one room, with nothing polished away and plenty of space left for Terry's trademark whoops and hollers.

For blues lovers, this heavyweight pressing is a welcome return for a session that captures one of the harmonica's true masters doing exactly what he did best, with no frills required.
