Hoodoo Man Blues

by
Junior Wells
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 ...

Can't Quit the Blues

by
Buddy Guy
Legend status came late to Buddy Guy, so it shouldn't be surprising that this is the first box set devoted to the blues giant's work. Yet it is still a bit of a shock, because Guy, it seems, has always been a part of the modern blues scene, ubiquitous even in the late '60s at the era's high-profile rock and folk festivals, playing the hippie ...

Buddy Guy & Junior Wells
Last Time Around -- Live At Legends is a fitting farewell to the late, great Junior Wells and his partnership, friendship and kinship with Buddy Guy that lasted decades. The album is a historic release in many ways. It reunites two blues legends who began their unique association in the 1950s. The album was recorded live in March 1993 at Buddy Guy ...

Various Artists
None of the cuts on this two-disc, 38-track collection is particularly obscure or hard to find elsewhere, but what makes it a useful set is having them all in one package, and the end result is a nice introduction to modern electric blues. Included are such classic blues performances as Big Mama Thornton's "Hound Dog," T-Bone Walker's "Call It ...

The Birth of the Blues [Soho]
(2002)

by
Various Artists
This three-disc set doesn't so much chronicle the birth of the blues, as it does its adolescence, marking the point when the blues went urban and electric. Among the highlights here are Mississippi Fred McDowell's "61 Highway," Magic Slim's stately and poignant "Cummins Prison Farm," and Lightnin' Hopkins' "War Is Starting Again." Steve Leggett, ...

Buddy Guy
Cut at the 1974 Montreux Jazz Festival with Stones' bassist Bill Wyman anchoring the rhythm section, the set captures some of the ribald musical repartee that customarily distinguished the pairing of Buddy Guy and Junior Wells, though they certainly break no new ground as they roll through their signature songs.

by
Various Artists
A collection of the electric blues from the Windy City. These ones are culled entirely from the old Alligator and Delmark archives (surprisingly not taking from the Chess archives). This avoidance of Chess aside, there's some noteworthy stuff in here. All of the major players from the Chicago scene are represented here, from the opening of the ...
