Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry Sing by
Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry, released in 1958 on Folkways.

Folkways wrote:

"The acoustic music duo of guitarist Brownie McGhee and harmonicist Sonny Terry were named National Heritage Fellows in 1982 in recognition of their distinctive musical contributions and accomplishments. Although primarily considered to be blues musicians, McGhee and Terry transcended the genre by including American folk songs and ballads in their repertoire. This 1958 recording, their first for the Folkways label, provides a small but inspiring example of the range of Americana and down-home blues music the duo performed throughout their 40-year partnership."

Back Country Blues by Brownie McGhee & Sonny Terry, released on Savoy in 1958.

Walter Brown "Brownie" McGhee (November 30, 1915 – February 16, 1996)[1] was an American folk and Piedmont blues singer and guitarist, best known for his collaboration with the harmonica player Sonny Terry.

Saunders Terrell (October 24, 1911 – March 11, 1986), known as Sonny Terry, was an American Piedmont blues and folk musician, who was known for his energetic blues harmonica style, which frequently included vocal whoops and hollers and occasionally imitations of trains and fox hunts. - Wikipedia

Down Home Blues is an album by blues musicians Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry recorded in 1960 and released on the Bluesville label.

AllMusic reviewer Bruce Eder stated: "the music itself stands outside of time. McGhee's strumming and singing have enough polish to pass as a commercial recording, but at its best, it's still sufficiently unaffected so as to be regarded as authentic country-blues. It's Terry's harp, however, that really pulls this body of music back to its roots ... the dominant elements of this album are the charm and honesty that Terry and McGhee offer, whatever their particular style on a specific song; they had portions of both to spare by the bucketload, which accounts for the 15 years that they held audiences in their spell". - Wikipedia

Down South Summit Meetin' (also released as First Meetin' and Lightnin' Hopkins & The Blues Summit) is an album by the blues musicians Brownie McGhee, Lightnin' Hopkins, Big Joe Williams and Sonny Terry, recorded in 1960 and released on the World Pacific label.

AllMusic reviewer Stewart Mason called it "a well-lubricated studio jam session". The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings awarded the album 3 stars, noting: "The atmosphere is charged with the electricity of several wiley old blues musicians topping each other's tricks. their occasionally, and perhaps not always entirely playfully, barbed sides add a whiff of brimstone. Altogether the performance tells us things about the four men that their other records don't generally convey, and anyone with a special fondness for any of the artists really aught to hear it". - Wikipedia

Stroszek und das tanzende Huhn (1977)

Wer sind wir? Wo kommen wir her? Wo wollen wir hin? Sind wir tanzende Hühner oder Kanninchen auf dem Feuerwehrwagen?
„Stroszek“, dieses kleine, schmutzige Meisterwerk von Werner Herzog aus dem Jahr 1977, schenkt uns einen faszinierenden Blick auf die menschliche Existenz. Ich würde den Film deshalb nicht gleich in meine Kategorie „Lieblingsfilme“ einordnen. […]

"But now I want to do a blues that's as old as the hills, but to me it's as fresh as a daisy …"

The song title doesn't tell you, but this Bessie Smith song is about the Cumberland River flood that hit Nashville on Christmas morning 1926, following heavy rains.

Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, "Backwater Blues" (live in studio, 1967, I guess …)
