  • All you blues fans out there, and all you wannabe blues peoples...if you ain't got it already, GO find HOODOO MAN BLUES by Junior Wells on Delmark Records. I got on to this lp in summer 67, and it's still in my all time top ten of blues LPS. It is the bona fide FIRST real blues lp....recorded as an ALBUM and not a collection of singles. It was done to represent what Jr and the band would sound like on a good night at Theresa's, etc. Hence the ENDINGS on all tunes.

  • @kpls72 It is a great blues album, and one of my favorites as well. Every song on it is a keeper.

  • I saw him live in the early 80's together with Buddy Guy

  • I'm jealous, I bet it was awesome.

  • @Cherbookie I NEED this Album

  • what's the song about?

  • @kpls72 Playing The Blues is just a gritty, but a tad funkier thanks to the horns. Two of the top blues albums I've come accross!

  • First met Mr. Wells at Theresa's on a Monday night in the summer of 1966. Sat and talked music with me and the other guys in my cleancut college white-boy "blues" band and couldn't have been more gracious. Insisted we get up and do a couple tunes. Ran into him several more times over the years and he was always kind and friendly, never condescending and certainly would not brook being condescended to. Never stopped exploring and innovating. He was a great artist. Happy birthday Junior Wells.

  • One of the many highlights on this great album. One of the very best.

  • this my hearing this, this music is funky im  loving it i want the whole collection not now but rite now!

  • Really I came back to Hear one of the baddest Blues Songs from one of the baddest Blues Man Junior Wells , not read my comments .

  • @bruj3w --don't hate 'em, pity 'em.  Someone w/o enuf soul to 'preciate this, don't waste yr energy hatin'.

  • JAMED HARP WID EM 73 /74. AT A CLUB ON SHERIDIN RD CANT REMEMBER NAMES A CLUB. HIM AND BUDDY

  • Class Act no doubt.
