Reviews
All-Music Guide (Ron Wynn)
No blues tandem in recent memory has given more alternately brilliant
and infuriating performances as the duo of Junior Wells and Buddy Guy.
They can inspire or anger, stimulate or disgust, amaze or bore. They
were in a great groove during the selections recorded at this '79 concert
for Isabel. They have been recently reissued with two bonus cuts as
part of Evidence's huge cache of blues material. Wells' often rambling,
sometimes disjointed and unorganized vocals were not only focused on
this occasion but delivered with verve, direction, and intensity. Guy
stayed in the background, but when summoned, played with less flair
and more power, dispensing with distortion and feedback gimmicks and
providing neat fills, slashing lines, and meaty riffs. Fine Wells/Guy
material that is close, if not completely equal to, their best.
