  • great, i love his music

  • J.C.BURRIS WAS SONNY TERRY'S NEPHEW

  • b. 1928, Selby, North Carolina, USA, d. 15 May 1988, Greensboro, North Carolina, USA. Burris learned harmonica from his uncle . He left farm work in his early 20s and moved to New York, where between 1955 and 1960 he made some recordings with , and Terry. At the turn of that decade, he moved out to the west coast, eventually settling in San Francisco, where he began to make a name for himself on the local folk-blues scene.

  • . A stroke disabled him for some years, but he eventually returned to music, performing regularly and making an album. His style owed much to Terry's, but he added his own distinctive touches, performing solo, playing bones as well as his harmonica, and sometimes appearing with a wooden dancing doll.
