Totally agree with Dick. I saw Brownie McGhee a couple of times in Manchester (at around the same time that I saw Josh White). They were both excellent performers and I am amazed how overlooked they are today. I especially like the recordings that can be heard on the CD set "The Little Red Box of Protest Songs" (Properbox 147), not perhaps "blues", but rather songs for people who were aware of the social inequalities of that time, and who wanted to do something about it.
