Come on in This House

Come on in This House (1997) more music like this

by Junior Wells

Junior Wells' penchant for clowning around sometimes conflicts with his craftsmanship, but he's all business on Come on in This House, his most unadulterated blues record since his highly acclaimed Hoodoo Man Blues of more than 30 years vintage. This is what has come to be known as an "unplugged" session -- that is, predominately, although not ...

Hoodoo Man Blues [Bonus Tracks]

Hoodoo Man Blues [Bonus Tracks] (1965) more music like this

by Junior Wells' Chicago Blues Band

One of the truly classic blues albums of the 1960s, and one of the first to fully document the smoky ambience of a night at a West Side nightspot in the superior acoustics of a recording studio. Wells just set up with his usual cohorts -- guitarist Buddy Guy (billed as "Friendly Chap" on first vinyl pressings), bassist Jack Myers, and drummer ...

Alone & Acoustic

Alone & Acoustic (1991) more music like this

by Buddy Guy/Junior Wells

The classic pairing of Buddy Guy and Junior Wells has been captured many times on vinyl, cassette, and disc over the years, but rarely with such intimacy and subtle, restrained energy as on this wonderful collection. Buddy Guy plays mostly 12 string guitar, and Junior laces his signature lines through the songs, engaging Guy in the kind of musical ...

Buddy Guy & Junior Wells Play the Blues

Buddy Guy & Junior Wells Play the Blues (1972) more music like this

by Buddy Guy/Junior Wells

Considering the troubled background of this album (Eric Clapton, Ahmet Ertegun, and Tom Dowd only ended up with eight tracks at a series of 1970 sessions in Miami; two years later, the J. Geils Band was brought in to cut two additional songs to round out the long-delayed LP for 1972 release), the results were pretty impressive. Buddy Guy ...

Putumayo Presents: Mississippi Blues

Putumayo Presents: Mississippi Blues (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

More than Chicago, its electric home, or Detroit and Memphis, where it morphed into modern soul, Mississippi is the blues. But, like every musical form, the blues have evolved since the days Charley Patton lived on Dockery's Plantation and played house dances and juke joints around Clarksdale. And that very evolution is going to make any ...

by Various Artists

In early 1966, blues history was made with the issuance of a three-volume set of new recordings produced by blues historian Samuel Charters.

Paint It Blue: Songs of the Rolling Stones

Paint It Blue: Songs of the Rolling Stones (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

The idea behind Paint It Blue: Songs of the Rolling Stones is such a simple, appealing one that it's a wonder that the record wasn't made before 1997. The Stones never made any secret of their debt to the blues, so it makes sense that their songs would sound good when performed by blues and R&B artists. That's the idea behind Paint It Blue -- ...

The Essential Blues [House of Blues] (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

Essential Blues is an attempt to trace the evolution of the music from the Mississippi Delta to Chicago and other modern, urban cities. It does a fairly good job in providing a brief history, but the main strength of the collection simply comes from the music. Featuring cuts from Lightnin' Hopkins, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Slim Harpo, Junior ...

by Various Artists

Excellent 18 track compendium of all the major movers and shakers who helped shape the Chicago blues scene in the 50s. Everyone is well represented here, and major stars like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf stand next to behind-the-scenes geniuses like Earl Hooker and Jody Williams for an interesting, and accurate, blend. ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide

Keep on Steppin': The Best of Junior Wells (1998) more music like this

by Junior Wells

The title's a bit of a ringer here; this is actually what Telarc considers the best tracks Wells recorded for their label between 1993 and 1997 -- music taken from his last four albums before his untimely death in early 1998. Wells won a fair amount of trophies with this quartet of albums, and while the material isn't anything that's going to ...

This compilation, made up of duets between various all-star blues artists, is an interesting idea that unfortunately doesn't deliver.

South Side Blues Jam

South Side Blues Jam (1970) more music like this

by Junior Wells

Enjoyable but less electrifying follow-up to Hoodoo Man Blues, cut in 1969-1970 -- looser, with longer songs that afford more room to stretch out instrumentally but don't quite equal the stunning precision of what came before. Buddy Guy returns on guitar; Otis Spann is the pianist, and Fred Below keeps superb time. ~ Bill Dahl, All Music Guide

by Junior Wells

Culled from various live recordings Junior Wells made in his final year or so, Live Around the World: The Best Of is not a "best-of." Instead, it intends to present the legendary Chicago bluesman in a late-career renaissance -- or, as Donald E. Wilcock says in his affectionate liner notes, "This album is not the last gasps of a dying legend." To ...
