"…Terry was a remarkable mouth harp player, and these performances are first rate…What makes this a truly stand out record is the fine sound, which just jumps out of the speakers. Although this is a stereo recording with rather hard left and right separation (especially on the McGhee songs), that anomaly distracts little from the performance." Recording = 7/10; Music = 8/10 – Dennis Davis, Hi-Fi+,

Although their styles were regions apart and they’d never performed together previously, Georgia harmonica ace Sonny Terryand Texas guitar titan Lightnin’ Hopkins complemented one another perfectly when producer Kenneth S. Goldstein paired them at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio on October 26, 1960.

As LeRoi Jones observed in the original album notes, “There is a meeting of ways, where the light and the sad seem to come together simply as blues.” Selections 6 through 10 were recorded the following year, and Terry was back in the more familiar company of another great guitarist, his longtime partner Brownie McGhee.
