Junior Wells' Chicago Blues Band - Hoodoo Man BluesBeen keeping this one up my sleeve, it a good one IMHO. I came across this album in the Tim Burgess (singer from The Charlatans) book ‘Tim Book Two: Vinyl Adventures from Istanbul to San Francisco ‘, quite an interesting book in itself. In the book Iggy Pop recommended this album to Tim, and it is described as a must have record for any self respecting Blues fan. So I took the plunge and found a copy, they can be pricey in good condition. When it arrived and I popped it on I instantly new it would be one of those regularly played albums in my collection. I hope it does the same for you. Junior is the singer and harpist, and a young Buddy Guy is on guitar. Happy listening! open.qobuz.com/album/0038153061227tidal.com/browse/album/2622843?u

Back in my old stomping ground, musically speaking. Nice one, Adrian.

45 minute s or so well spent. A great slice of blues, and some top playing, especially from Jack Myers on bass. I won't mention the recording quality, I'll leave that for the folks to whom it matters. Useless bit of trivia: Buddy Guy was originally billed as " Friendly Chap" on this album. 4/ 5

For its age, the recording is excellent, no apologies required. This is a good slice of blues where I prefer the slower numbers (In the Wee Wee Small Hours, Early in the Morning) to the more upbeat numbers. We're Ready has a great rhythm. 4/5.

Some nice playing from Junior and Buddy on this. I am not sure where I stand with the album as whilst I enjoy it I do not see myself listening to this often. Thanks for the choice. Not what I was expecting, but in a good way. A solid 3 from me
