What one of my customers had to say:
“Mojohand is just plain authentic, I love the fact I can buy direct from the artist himself and not some big company pretending to love the Blues… we can spot them a mile off.” – Barbara D. – Las Vegas
Brownie McGhee: The Gentle Voice of Piedmont Blues
Born Walter Brown McGhee on July 30, 1915, in Knoxville, Tennessee, Brownie McGhee became one of the defining figures of the Piedmont blues, known for his warm vocals, deft guitar work, and deep partnership with harmonica virtuoso Sonny Terry. McGhee’s style blended traditional country blues with folk, gospel, and swing influences, creating music that was both accessible and deeply expressive.
McGhee began performing in the 1930s, often traveling and playing on the streets, in juke joints, and on the radio. His collaboration with Sonny Terry, which lasted over four decades, produced classics like Diggin’ My Potatoes, Muddy Water Blues, and Bring Me My Shotgun. Their music helped introduce acoustic blues to new audiences during the folk revival of the 1950s and ’60s.
Known for his gentle demeanor and storytelling ability, McGhee influenced generations of musicians and played a key role in bringing blues to folk, jazz, and popular music stages.
Brownie McGhee passed away on February 16, 1996, leaving a legacy of heartfelt, timeless blues—a voice that could soothe, inspire, and carry the traditions of the Piedmont blues into the modern era.
Grego’s notes: “When I first discovered Blues music, there were so many names and performers to sort thru it was very confusing to me with all the regional styles and such. I was lucky enough to stumble across an old, beat up Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee record at the library in Austin and checked it out. What a game changer that was – Brownie’s voice and guitar playing really knocked me out – and with Sonny doing the “whooping” in the background – I was hooked for life.”
