Junior Wells "Hoodoo Man Blues"
(Junior Wells' Chicago
Blues Band with Buddy
Guy)
Hoodoo Man Blues is considered by
most blues aficionados and fans to be one of the best blues albums of all
time. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and was chosen by the
readers of Living Blues magazine as a top ten Desert Island Blues disc.
Recorded on September 22 & 23, 1965 Hoodoo Man Blues was the first
studio album to capture a working Chicago blues band doing essentially
what they did on stage without time constraints to accommodate the singles
market. Of course both Junior Wells & Buddy Guy went on to become
international blues stars. This new digipak re-issue contains 19
performances: the 12 songs from the original LP, 3 alternates that have
been available on CD plus 4 never-before-released performances. There's
one completely unissued song, "I Ain't Stranded", and an alternate take to
"Yonder Wall" in which Buddy Guy is playing through the Leslie speaker as
he did on the title track, something guitar players are still copying to
this day. The new four-panel digipak and 16 page booklet package contains
nine never before seen photos from the recording session.
