Pioneering folk-blues duo of the 19602 blue revival! Available for the first
time on vinyl, “Live At The New Penelope Café”, recorded in
Montreal in 1967, showcases the famous blues duo in unusually lively form.
It’s possible that the duo werent even thinking about the fact that they
were being recorded which resulted in a less stiff and formal performance than
they could sometimes deliver when playing in front of collegiate audiences. 

The result is a record a bit louder and noisier, but also more exciting than
most of their other live albums -- the voices mesh together a bit rougher and
more honestly than they do on some of their other live releases. The sound is
clean mono, with the audience present but not overly obtrusive. 

„It sometimes seems like there are about 90 live albums by Sonny Terry and
Brownie McGhee, all from the 1960s. This one, taped at a show in Montreal in
1967, stands out from the rest because the duo are in unusually lively form, and
its having been recorded in a more raw than usual manner. As with other releases
in this Canadian-taped series by Michael Nerenberg, its possible that the duo
werent even thinking about the fact that they were being recorded, and so were
less stiff and formal than they could sometimes sound playing in front of white
collegiate audiences. The result is a record a bit louder and noisier, but also
more exciting than most of their other live albums -- the voices mesh together a
bit rougher and more honestly than they do on some of their other live releases.
The sound is clean mono, with the audience present but not overly obtrusive, and
the repertory includes Cornbread, Peas and Black Molasses, Sportin Life, Easy
Rider, Pack It Up and Go, Hooray Hooray (These Women Is Killing Me), Champion
Jack Duprees Under Your Hood, and a medley of stuff like the Broonzy/Segar Key
to the Highway and Leroy Carrs In the Evening. (Bruce Eder, AMG)
