Reviews
AMG (Bill Dahl)
Strange, off-the-cuff set originally issued on Blue Thump pairing
Buddy Guy and Junior Wells with jazz pianist Junior Mance and no rhythm
section. Guy plays acoustic guitar, Wells plays amplified harp, and
the hoary setlist includes "Hoochie coochie man," "Five
long years," and "Rock me mama.".
Dirty Linen (Nick Crews)
Junior Wells' recent death makes the reissue of this 1970 Blue Thumb
album on the British BGO label especially welcome. The disc's spare
non-electric blues features Buddy Guy on acoustic guitar, Junior Wells
on harp and Junior Mance on piano. The performances are as solid as
they are unmannered, the lack of bass and drums notwithstanding. This
unusual, rich, informal-sounding recording well documents the acoustic
side of the Guy/Wells on-again-off- again alliance.
