1991 180 Gram Stereo Reissue of Classic 1981 Alligator Release of Legendary Duo Bandleader/Composer/Guitarist Buddy Guy and Bandleader/Composer/Harp Master/Blues Vocalist Junior Wells Entitled Alone & Acoustic, Produced by Didier Tricard, Album Originally REcorded at Sysmo Studio in Paris, France on May 15 in 1981 - "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 dialogue that only old friends can have. This is acoustic street-corner blues at its best, performed with incredible expressiveness, ease, and joy. One gets the feeling these two are just sitting down for a friendly jam session on a Saturday afternoon, and when things get loose, their laughter flows almost as freely as the music. Guy really shines on some of these tracks, his guitar lines fast, smooth, percussive, and seemingly effortless. Wells, always tasteful, plays counterpoint to Guy in the classic style and sings with honesty and conviction. What resulted is some absolutely fantastic music." - Stunning Personnel for the Duo Features Living Legend Buddy Guy on 6-String Guitar, 12-String Guitar and Vocals & the Brilliant Junior Wells on Harmonica and Vocals! - Selections on Side A Are The Buddy Guy Penned Give Me My Coat and Shoes, the Junior Wells Song Big Boat(Buddy and Junior's Thing), Original Buddy Guy Composition Sweet Black Girl, the Sonny Terry Classic Diggin' My Potatoes, Buddy Guy's Don't Leave Me, the Traditional Rollin and Tumblin' & the John Lee Hooker/Bernard Bessman Standard I'm in the Mood - Tracks for Side B Consist of the Robert Higginbotham Song High Heel Sneakers, the Junior Wells Penned Wrong Doing Woman, Mel London's Cut You Loose, John Lee Hooker's Sally Mae, the Traditional Catfish Blues, the Muddy Waters Standard my Home's in the Delta, the John Lee Hooker Classic Boogie Chillen and Jimmy Reed's Medley: Baby What You Want Me to Do/That's All Right - Used Copy, Cover Is Slightly Warped and Peeling in a Bent Bottom Left Corner, Record Very Good++ - 180 Gram Vinyl, Stereo Recording, Product Code AL 4802 - California Residents Add 10.25% Sales Tax - International S & H Extra -
