Released in 1965,Junior Wells' Hoodoo Man Blues is an historical first LP. The album, on the Delmark label is, according to the liner notes, "not only Junior Wells' first appearance on an LP but is damn near the first LP by a Chicago blues band." Whatever its place in history, the album is a red hot example of Chicago blues. Wells sings and plays with an unmatched intensity. Long time partner Buddy Guy lays down guitar licks that match Wells'intensity with their power. Jack Myers on bass and Billy Warren on drums provide a solid rhythm section. The songs on the album speak for themselves. Great Stuff here for blues fans. Snatch it Back and Hold It has a funky groove that wont quit. Buddy Guy's guitar really sets up the tone in Ships On The Ocean. Junior takes a hit by Muddy Waters, Good Morning Little Schoolgirl, and does his own formidable version! Hound Dog is the same song first done by Big Mama Thornton and later by Elvis, but like every thing else, Junior puts his own stamp on it. Other songs include In the Wee Wee hours, Big Lawdy Mama, Hoodoo Man Blues, Early In The Morning, We're Ready, You Don't Love Me Baby, Chillin Con Carne, Yonders Wall and alternate tracks of Hoodoo Man blues and Chillin Con Carne. This is a must for Junior Wells and Buddy Guy fans!Read full review
