JUNIOR WELLS
with BUDDY GUY, FREDDY BELOW, LEROY STEWART, WALTER BEASY, LITTLE AL
Regarded as the last of the great Chicago harmonica players, Junior Wells was an impressive stylist and a leading
practitioner of postwar blues harmonica. He was one bad dude, strutting across the stage like a harp-toting gangster, mesmerizing
the crowd with his tough-guy antics and rib-sticking Chicago blues attack. Amazingly, Junior Wells kept at precisely this
sort of thing for over 40 years; he was an active performer from the dawn of the '50s until his death in the late '90s
"IT'S MY LIFE, BABY!"
Some of this album, Junior Well's first solo record for Vanguard, was recorded in Pepper's Lounge on Chicago's south side, to get the feeling of a blues band working with its blues audience. The rest was done at Universal Studion in Chicago
